UPnP simplifies port forwarding as it won't require any user action to
make it work... If you manually forward TCP Port 3389, you don't need
to use UPnP (+ for remote desktop, you must do this by hand as the
UPnP support is for Remote Assistance, not Remote Desktop)

As an example, my UPnP router sets up port forwarding whenever I send
out a file via Windows Messenger.
