[AccessD] Remote Access to Access

That combo is definitely the best of all worlds and security as close to 100
percent as our universe allows...with 256-bit encryption.

Remote Desktop is tightly integrated with Windows.  All the others are
layered on top of Windows. 
Remote Desktop is indeed much much faster in most cases and I prefer RD
whenever I can make that 
work.  That is why I prefer Hamachi VPN when I can make that work.  I have
hard IPs and so I can use 
RD over Hamachi.  Hamachi also allows you to browse network shares on the
remote computer and even 
map network shares to local drive letters if you so desire.
