Remote Desktop and Windows 8 CP

It's been a few weeks with Windows 8 Consumer Preview.
I tasted many interesting new features of Windows, but I figured the new Remote Desktop was pretty confusing.
I use Remote Desktop a lot to get to my work computer especially when the weather is bad and I don't feel like going outside.

I'm no network expert, so when they changed the interface, I couldn't figure out how to set it up.

Huh? How do I use this?

Then, I found out MS still put the old style Remote Desktop hidden in system32 folder. If you're on Windows 8 and miss the old style Remote Desktop, this is how to get it.

Find "mstsc.exe" in C:\Windows\System32 folder.

Right-click, Send to, Desktop (create shortcut)

Now you have it on the desktop.
