Outdated?
What makes the present OS outdated? The RDP version?
Perhaps instead of changing the client OS you should change the server OS so you can control the protocol being used. With GNU/Linux, for instance, you can use RDP but you can also use X11 over SSH, NX, etc. If you have a local LAN, you can use plain X11. You may have to change some of the apps running on the server but you may have to do that from time to time anyway. The longer you wait to take charge of your infrastructure instead of allowing it to control you, the less costly climbing out of the hole will be. Remember, M$ is motivated to make your life inconvenient every few years so that you will buy more licences. That is not in your best interest. With GNU/Linux on both ends, no one can pressure you to waste time and effort.
