What happened to "mstsc /console"?

Those of your more geeky folks may have been used to connecting to a remote computer using Remote Desktop (RDP) and connecting to the console session so you can see the programs running there.  In an update to the Terminal Services client available from Windows Update the command line parameters have been changed.  You now need to use:
mstsc /admin
For those of you using Vista thinking that you'd lost all access to the console session on remote servers, use the same command as above.  You can always find out the right option to use if you're borrowing someone else's computer by running:
mstsc /?
