The obvious reason is that you need an Internet connection to utilize RDC (and a reliable one to add).
I utilized RDC several times daily on multiple computers, but sometimes I am just not around an ethernet or WiFi connection, yet I still need to have the Windows accessbility for using some applications.
"RDC was as fast and sometimes faster"
RDC is not faster than Parallels for 98% (my number) of tasks. If one is running Intel hardware, which none isn't even a year old yet...then RDC is definitely not faster in any form or shape I have been exposed to.
Now...if you want to compare RDC to a Windows flavor witihin the Virtual PC environment, then I'd flip-flop (even though an efficient setup of VPC can also be faster than RDC in some things...but not the majority of).
