One thing that always annoyed me about VNC was the speed, having been a long time PCAnywhere user it pales in comparison, must check out this tho', I use VNC on a citrix box at work to remotely admin some of my servers without having to have the firewall full of more holes than necessary and it's a tad slow on 56k dialup, hopefully this will make a big difference.
