Okay, there is nothing in your wish list that can't be done on ANY of the branches.
If you want someone to see your screen, then they can access it via any web browser without installing any software. If you want to controll someone's pc they are going to have to install the server, all can be installed as service. All versions allow "reverse" connections where "someone" will initiate the connection to you, but you get to controll thier pc. To do this you start a "Viewer" in Listne mode, and "someone" selects "Add connection" and type the umber you give them. Of course "someone" has to be on the machine to select the "Add connection", the server won't connect out automatically, so this may not be what you want. Bottom line? Any one will do what you want. You are going to need to give more criterea to decide with, or choose randomly. UltraVnc WAS the fastest for windows (have the ultra drivers been ported to the others yet?), has file transfer, and chat which might be usefull to you, but (alas) has been beta for ever. (Most problems being the usage of windows domain users, and such). I've been using it for over a year on win98 / me / 2000 / xp machines and have had no problems with it. I can't tell you the diferences between RealVnc and TightVnc I haven't look into them in ages.
