VNC is an open spec with free clients and servers available for all platforms. Apple's own Remote Desktop app is based on VNC, and Timbuktu probably is too. If you don't need any particular features other than just remote access ability, don't buy Timbuktu or Apple's Remote Desktop, this would just be a waste of money.
