It helps to follow the performance tips. You're not going to be able
to watch a QuickTime movie remotely, but I have yet to run into a
situation where BSS couldn't tackle the job of remote application
support or showing a Keynote or demoing a software feature while
talking on the phone.
Nothing against the VNC people, but so many of my users, especially
in creative fields, get to BSS because (a) VNC configuration is a
PITA, (b) the implementation of out-of-box security and ease of use
isn't as good as BSS, and (c) there's no mental overhead of
understanding client/server. If you're supporting customers, I don't
know why you'd inflict VNC on them when there are a whole bunch of
better, cheap/free alternatives. Maybe if you're working with other
geeks, and need to upstage each others' geekiness, VNC would be
great. But seriously... VNC was great in its time when we all thought
client/server, but it's a P2P world now, and software people use
ought to be designed that way.
