I haven't tried that yet.  good suggestion. I would think it might. Will
give it a stab and see what it does later today.

Yeah, "remote desktop" to the Mac isn't on par with RDP on windows, but I
haven't tried the "paid" version Apple provides (ARD). I'm still trying to
figure out if there is a genuine windows client for ARD, but I haven't
made an exhaustive search yet. I did come across a couple of interesting
items regarding the VNC method:

http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/24976/is-there-a-windows-remote-d
esktop-client-compatible-with-lions-virtual-display

http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/chrome-remote-desktop-extension-allows-you-to
-remote-control-systems-via-your-browser-10-10-2011/

The Chrome extension thing looks very intriguing!

Since I just finished upgrading to vSphere 5.1 Hypervisor, I may take a
stab at Mountain Lion on it since, as Chris noted, there is better Apple
guest support now. I would prefer to have it on vSphere with a good remote
desktop client. :)

Do you know if iTunes and Xcode can see an iPhone with your setup?
Does the iPhone simulator work?

Thanks.

Yeah.  'Cause I tried "desktop sharing" and then accessing it with
TightVNC on Linux, but that makes my Mac lock up.
