Secret Addition to RD Web Access in 2008 R2 SP1

Did you know that in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 there is an update to RD Web Access that allows you to select RemoteFX access?

If you have upgraded your Windows Server 2008 R2 RD WebAccess server to Service Pack 1 (SP1) and open up the RD WebAccess page after that, you’ll notice a very small change on the RemoteApp Programs page. Suddenly there now is an option called “Optimize my experience for a LAN network when connecting to the computer or application”.

So what does that option do? A quick search on Bing only shows one result. A search with some other search engine (that starts with a G) doesn’t show more either.

So why is this option suddenly there and what does it do?
