Remote access to Windows Vista for Mac OSX?

Is there a way to make remote desktop access from Windows Vista to Mac Mini with OSX? Looking at the possibility of remote access to the Mac to access the system, so there is no need to have it on a separate monitor / kb for testing and development.

Anything like a remote windows desktop that you can use?

VNC for OS X

NOTE. The VNC server is already included in OS X 10.4 and later. See http://www.wikihow.com/Setup-VNC-on-Mac-OS-X :

  • Open your system settings in the blue apple menu.
  • Click on the "Sharing" tab in the "Internet and Network" section.
  • Click Start to launch the Remote Desktop component.
  • Click Access Privileges to open more advanced options.
  • Checking VNC viewers can control the password screen and determine the password.
  • You can close System Preferences. All is ready!

Is something like LogMeIn useful? There is a free version that does not have sound or file transport. If you can do without sound and have a different way of sending files, this might work. Or you can purchase a paid version ...

VNC will not dispatch the Ctrl + Drag event, so its usefulness for something like Interface Builder is nil ... I was looking for a remote program that will send Ctrl + Drag; if someone developed using Interface Builder remotely, I am very interested. (Mac Mini, controlled by XP SP3, tried TightVNC, UltraVNC, several others - they prefer a free solution, but are willing to pay at this point.)

You can also use Synergy , which provides a very simple interface, especially if the systems are on the same internal network and have their own monitors on your desk.

logmein will definitely be the best solution here, otherwise use VNC
