Best Remote Desktop Software?
Had a user ask me about a good remote desktop program and I usually just use the built-in remote desktop in Vista. What do you guys recommend for remote desktop software for XP and Vista computers? TightVNC, PCAnywhere, UltraVNC, LogMeIn....the only ones I can think of. Ease of use is very important for this user.

Remote Desktop doesn't get any easier...It's free and built in. Can can get tricky without a static IP...

Is it built in to XP Home? I haven't used XP in years.

XP Home doesn't have a remote desktop server. You can initiate remote desktop sessions from Home, but cannot connect to a home computer.
I use the free version of Logmein for everything, it's an excellent product with lots of options. Doesn't get any easier than a list of computers and a couple of clicks from there. I even use it between computers on my local LAN - not as fast as remote desktop - but very convenient.
