Just in case anybody out there is as clueless as I am, here's something I just found today.
I use my wife's WinXP box for IE testing when designing site's. So the old workflow was make a change, roll over to her comp and hit f5. Well I just found out that MS makes a remote desktop client for the mac. Now I just remote into her machine. So now when I need to test the page, I just command-tab to remote desktop and click refresh. So if you already own an XP box, it's much cheaper than buying VPC.
Well, I thought it was pretty cool anyway.

Note that it has to be XP Pro, not Home.

yeah and if you use an older (sp2 beta) termserv.dll you can even get concurrent sessions. ie 2 people can use the computer at the same time. one at console and one over the network.
