I was hoping that Apple's remote Desktop would let me control several Macs from within Windows, but it looks like the client only runs on Macs. Is that true?

What other choices do I have to control a Mac from windows? There's VNC and Timbuktu. Anything else that may work better? I love Microsoft's Remote Desktop product, and it's free.

I am also looking for a way to remotely control my Mac (OS X) from a Windows machine. Something directly analogous to Microsoft's Remote Desktop that allows me to use my Windows machine from my Mac.

Does Timbuktu or VNC allow you to control a Mac (OS X) from a Windows box?

Thanks for any replies!

Either of those two programs will work. But I have yet to find anything that works as well as Microsoft's Remote Desktop.
