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'.

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)

I call BS. I regularly use VNC to a Linux server over a 10MB network, and by reducing the colour depth, it is easily usable over a 256k internet connection.

This only happens on Windows servers, due to the way VNC does screen capture on Windows, because the "proper" way to do it requires kernel-mode drivers and is largely undocumented. It *never* happens on a Linux or OS X server.

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. :-)
