I'm new with VPS I have now a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS server, I connected to the server with Remote Desktop from Windows, but now I just see the terminal. Is there a way to see a desktop (see below image) instead of just a terminal.

First of all, in order to access a desktop environment on ubuntu server, you need to have about 1G of ram and you need to install the "ubuntu-desktop" which is not included with the server by default. Do this by typing the following commands in that terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
I'm not exactly sure how to access the desktop once it's installed but you need the desktop before you do anything.
If you don't have much ram, you can install something like Lubuntu or Xubuntu like this instead:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
For Xubuntu,
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
