I will try to explain the difference between NX and spam: 
 
Case 1. NX. 
 
- Read the announcement and go to the link you find there. 
 
- Download the sources of the following OSS, GPLed components, 
  developed by NoMachine programmers paid full time to make this 
  possible: 
 
  nxcomp 
  nxcompext 
  nxproxy 
  nxdesktop 
  nxscripts 
 
- Build all the above then get a Linux computer that happens to be 
  the front-end of a server farm with a couple of Win 2000 TS boxes. 
  Install libXcomp, libXcompext and nxdesktop somewhere on the 
  front-end. 
 
- Get a Linux client (Windows requires you download from NoMachine 
  other OSS, GPLed components developed by NoMachine programmers 
  paid full time to make this possible). Install libXcomp and nxproxy. 
 
- Modify the scripts to run nxdesktop on the remote, front-end computer 
  and nxproxy on the local, client computer. You have RDP sessions 
  running on your client with a compression of 2:1 to 10:1 in respect to 
  the original MS RDP protocol. You can even use the Linux gateway to 
  load-balance the traffic between the machines in the server farm and 
  can connect without exposing the server farm to the public Internet, 
  this without giving a cent to NoMachine programmers. 
 
Case 2. Spam. 
 
- Download an e-mail written by someone that didn't read an 
  announcement, except the word "commercial". 
 
- Trash it.

P.S.: We made some changes to the way rdesktop draws to the X  
      display in order to increase the performances. Such improvements 
      apply with or without NX transport. We would be glad to see those 
      changes included in next rdesktop release.
