Use OS X to Control XP?

[Slovig]

Hey. I know with windows there is Microsoft Remote Desktop, which allows one PC to control another. I'm wondering if there is a program that will run on OS X, which will allow me to control my home pc? I was looking into the "Share Screen" Feature, but I think that's only for Mac to Mac. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Jesse

Ironically, the program that does what you want is called....

Wait for it...

Microsoft Remote Desktop Client.

It's a free download, nicely enough. There are a few other options, but this is the most straightforward one.

download a VNC server such as TightVNC for the PC, run that, and use the client to access it from your mac.

technically you dont even need the client program, apple computers already have VNC access.

Teamviewer is a good program. I use it for remote support all the time.
