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'.

Yes, the BUILT-IN Remote Desktop. ARD server is built into every release of OS X. The viewer costs money, but you can download a free copy of VNC for any operating system any time you'd like, and the ARD server includes a built-in VNC server. It's not like RDP is a standard feature on Windows, anyway. Since it's not included in Windows XP Home, that means that the majority of users will never see or use it. Just fyi, ARD's been out since 2002, and has supported VNC since 2004. Read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Remote_Desktop

The viewer costs money,

XP home includes the viewer. XP Pro has viewer and the terminal part. IIRC the viewer is also downloadable for NT and W2K.

Thank you for proving my point. ;)

You didn't read the rest of his post that says that you can use a VNC viewer which you can download *for free*.

One viewer costs money and does more than the XP viewer. Or, you can download a free viewer that does the same as XP's (vncviwer). I fail to see how I have proved your point. :-)
