...per MS' download center summary for XP Remote Desktop Connection 6.0 client:
"The Remote Desktop Connection 6.0 client can be used to connect to legacy terminal servers or to remote desktops as before, but the new features that are mentioned in this article are available only when the remote computer is running Windows Vista or Windows Server Code Name "Longhorn."
This doesn't help with a Windows XP to XP connection.
I'll stick with rdp over ssh which tunnel encrypts the rdp session.
Easy to set up with Cygwin:
$>ssh -o TCP KeepAlive=yes -L 3389:localhost:3389 -f -N-l remote_user_name
This sets up the tunnel.
Then, type into your XP Remote Desktop Connection 'computer name' field: localhost
Your Windows XP rdp (port 3389) session is now safely encrypted.
This definitely works--I use all the time for Unix and Windows connectivity--in a Healthcare setting--can't afford to have any information compromised!

How insecure is the old RDP?

If you're an admin using old RDP, that's REALLY bad
