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'.

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. :-)

But it doesn't do the same as XP's viewer, i wouldn't want to do a days work through VNC, even over a 100Mbps line, it is simply too slow. On top of that i have yet to see a VNC implementation where it doesn't occasionally (or sometimes constantly) forget to update parts of the screen. In contrast i can easily work through RDP, the lag is only really noticeable when i do things like image editing. (And i'm even connected remotely to the RDP session through citrix, so i get double lag)
