The point is portability. Rather than requiring a VNC viewer on any machine you wish to work from (public library machines?), you just need a web browser with Flash installed - which is a lot more machines than those with a VNC viewer. Much more flexible, much more portable, etc.
Sounds like someone was recently at a Macromedia conference... But seriously - useless statements? you have to admit if not for weirdo marketing jocks flash wouldn't be where it is today, and that is the point that, albeit sarcastically, I was trying to make. Flash 8.x we will see...absolute power corrupts absolutely.

java sucks. and although i'm sure flashvnc will need to somewhat mature and evolve, i think it has some great potential.+digg

gfors, yeah I agree with you about the ads. Google got where they are by ads, too.
