Not sure I agree with putting this at the end instead of in the RDP section. Seems less likely to get read.

There was a rendering issue with Notes in Tabs, so I moved it to the end. Looks like we are fixing it soon: https://github.com/coder/coder.com/pull/265
I can move it back once that PR gets merged.

| The common way to use remote desktops with Coder is through VNC. | ||
| The common way to connect to a Windows workspace is using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). RDP is a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft that allows users to remotely control a computer over a network connection. It provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for remote access, enabling users to interact with the remote system as if they were sitting in front of it. |

This reads as patronizing to me. Remote desktop implies a GUI, and given that we don't provide instructions on how to enable RDP in the workspace, I think we should assume the reader has some idea what RDP is.

Updated to remove the sentence talking about what RDP is.

| You can use the [RDP Desktop](https://registry.coder.com/modules/coder/local-windows-rdp) module to add a single-click button to open an RDP session in the browser. |

I suggest adding a screenshot or GIF here of what it looks like from the desktop client. Would significantly improve the visual identity of the first part of the page and show what the Desktop UX looks like.
