I have no experience with Apple Remote Desktop; perhaps my employer 
will buy that someday.

Oh, VNC works GREAT for controlling Windows boxes.  It's a nice 
workaround for remote X11 display too... the only problem with it is 
when using it with a Mac server.  You're right about the price though. 
:)  If I didn't have access to an extra (legit) Timbuktu license at 
work, I would be using VNC too.
