How is ARD compared to VNC? Is it faster? I'm unclear what advantages it has. Care to enlighten me, alcimedes? :)

edit: I see, now. Makes sense. I'm not sure it's worth it for what I need but it seems like it would be really useful in a multiple computer shop.

I couldn't tell how it worked with Windows. What sort of control over windows does it offer?

it can use the VNC server on a windows machine for full windows controll.

on a Mac, it's nice for asset management etc. i have over 500 machines i'm supposed to babysit, so this will be nice, now that it works.
