Microsoft want you to fork out for vista or Win 7 ultimate to get RDP.
But VNC works well. I have used Ultra VNC server installed on the PC http://www.uvnc.com/download/ on your tablet you can install VNC viewer http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/vncviewer/ test it over your local network before configuring ssh port forwarding or opening remote ports on your router.

EDIT
no need to install VNC on a mac or most Linux distro's its the dealt standard for desktop sharing.
