Normally I use ssh for everything, but sometimes I need a GUI to run stuff and remote X11 over ssh does not really work for me.
So normally I use VNC, but then you need a client and in the corporate universe you will not have it (or get it easily). Sure, there is the java-version you can run in your browser, but I'm not fan of that either.
Solution: xrdp
Comes with ubuntu and not much to configure. And the client (Remote Desktop Connection) comes with Windows.
