JetwingX: "don't complain about Remote desktop not being included. Have you already forgotten that in 10.5 iChat will let you do that functionality for free as well?"It's not the same. At all. You're saying that the iChat screen sharing can be used for this type of remote control of a computer, but to do so, you'd have to leave iChat signed in and figure out how to get the remote instance to initiate a screen sharing session. Maybe you could consider this a workaround, but it's not a comparable solution.
Remote desktop only comes with XP professional (~$300) which only like 5% of people I know have, so windows users aren't THAT blessed.(-) Does copy and paste not work? I tried to bring some text from XP to Mac and it was no-go. That's the one thing that is bugging me.(+) It didn't spawn the blank toolbar space in firefox, I won't miss that
While only Pro allows arbitrary RDC sessions, all versions of XP support RDC via invitations. I have used this to help several XP Home people before and it works very well.

No, and that is the only feature keeping me from using it otherwise.

"I'm glad to see some alternatives coming along."I'm using OSXVnc right now. So there are already alternatives now, which are free.

I use Chicken of the VNC on OS X, it seems to work pretty well though I'm not sure what the bandwith load looks like.
