Win7 RC and Win2k Servers over RDP

First real issue with the Win7 RC. When you try to access a Win2k server (fully patched) with the RDP client from Win7, CPU will shoot up to 100%. Log off from the server and it will drop right back down again. Easy to reproduce and apparantly there are quite a few users experiencing this problem.

Apart from the obvious issue with your servers running like a dog as a result, there is also the security side where there obviously is a problem server side. MS will need address pretty quickly or any Win2k with an exposed RDP listening can be DOS'ed pretty quickly.
