Sure it might be confusing, because that's not how the logic goes in the Microsoft world. Over there, the big machine acting as Terminal Server thing is the server, and the Remote Desktop client, which provides the actual display, is the client... while on X11, it's the complete opposite. I'm not going to pretend that it couldn't be confusing.
The whole X11 client/server discussion was touched on in the Unix Haters Handbook chapter on X11. I think that reference proves the merit of the argument. -- Steven Edwards "There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo
