Apple At the 2006 WWDC in San Fransisco, Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced several new products during his opening keynote speech. Read more for a chronological summary of the keynote-- including the much-debated preview of Mac OS 10.5, Leopard, which, according to Steve Jobs, will ship this spring. Update: Apparantly, a similar feature to Time Machine already exists in Linux. It is called 'Dervish'.

You mean something like Apple Remote Desktop, which is built into every version of OS X since at least 10.3 (that's when I started using it). You can view it either with the reasonably cheap Remote Desktop application or with a standard VNC viewer. Apple's Remote Desktop does much more than Microsoft's, as well. You can manange multiple machines from one application, perform remote operations (installing software, rebooting, etc.) without actually logging into the machine, you can group and bookmark machines. You can generate reports about one or many machines of what software & hardware they have installed, accounts, file systems, whatever. It greatly simplifies running large labs of Macs.
