That ain't bad, even used as directed.
If you've got some reason to run a desktop app in the cloud, setting up Windows in EC2 and connecting to it with RDP is as easy as falling off a log -- for Windows, MacOS and Linux clients.
You certainly can connect to a Linux X desktop in EC2 from any of those platforms but it's much more trouble to set up, even on Linux.
