And note that in the Metro RDP app (which I actually quite like), it's impossible to use the corners because they will always belong to the host OS. The remote OS's functionality can be accessed via the keyboard and a toolbar in the RDP app, though.

I'm not sure if that's the case with the desktop RDP client. It's not with the metro one, in any case, because Metro apps can't take over the corners.

A bit troublesome because when taught UI design, I'm told to place the most important actions to the corners and the center of screen. To cater with hot corner will make the Apps to lose the corners.

Top-left and bottom-left would be problematic, yeah (this is actually a problem I sometimes have with the app switcher blocking the back button in IE because I hit the corner trying to click that button).

Of course, when using touch it's gestures, not the corners, that activate those actions. And in a touch UI Fitt's law doesn't really apply anyway, and regardless of what MS may claim metro apps are designed for touch first.
