leopard already has an inbuilt client , vnc://ip address from safari should do it.You need to enable screen sharing on the mac you intend to control remotely

I use LogMeIn Free on all my systems, as well as my families computers and it works great cross platform. Makes it simple to connect to multiple systems as they are all available from a central login point.

Yes, Microsoft provides a remote desktop client that works wonderfully and supports Vista. It's beta 2 right now, but there have been no notable bugs I've seen.

Beta 2 is great, but man, the first beta was ridiculously buggy.

I personally use a combination of UltraVNC and Remote Desktop Connection depending on needs. UltraVNC isn't as snappy as RDC, but I don't have to log back into my desktop when I am done with it... so it is a trade off.

Thanks! I'll give those a shot. Right now I'm just using RDC in XP via Fusion, but a native OS X app would be nice, so I'll have to give RDC for OS X a shot.

I also use the free version of Logmein cross platform with good results.
