    Opening RDP to a Windows machine openly to the whole internet is only something a chump would do.

        If set to encrypted and with a strong password policy why not?
        It's no less secure than SSH if patched correctly. And more secure than many 3rd party remote access applications.

        As for security by obscurity, that's no security at all. The lamest script-kiddy can find out what port RDP is on.
