Description
RFD 21 states this in the firewall rules section:
- Default allow RDP: This rule allows inbound TCP connections on port 3389 from anywhere. This allows Windows remote desktop to operate.
This wasn't implemented as we didn't have Windows VM working back then. We can probably give Windows VM the same treatment as Linux VMs (which can be accessed on port 22 via SSH by default), now that they have been officially supported on the platform for some time. The change is only needed for newly created VPCs (i.e., there is no need to backfill this rule in existing VPCs).

Research direction
Use RFD 21's firewall-rules section as the behavioral reference and locate the VPC creation path alongside the existing Linux SSH default. The issue names no files or tests; completion means newly created VPCs allow inbound TCP port 3389 by default while existing VPCs remain unchanged.
