Remote desktop software

Post by bull77 »

so my inlaws just got highspeed and need a little pc help. They live in Newfoundland so remote access is the way to go. I used to use VNC but the new version doesn't support Vista.Anyone have suggestions to free remote desktop tools?

Boooooo vista.I've tried to work with it multiple times. I HATE IT!All those stupid mojave commercials are bupkiss. Vista is WORSE than Me IMHO!If they don't do better than vista by the time I get a new computer, I will be reformatting and putting on kubuntu or something. And I've never used linux before, but that's just how much i hate vista.
YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!
