I setup my two Macs to allow one to be controlled by the other via Apple Remote Desktop. With ARD I could watch the other Mac while it was being used, move the mouse while the other user was moving it (would throw them off a bit), or take total control over the Mac. I wanted that same capability (to do updates) on the wife's Windows laptop via Remote Desktop Connection v2.10 (comes w/ Office 2011) and it boots the current user when I connect. Not exactly what I wanted. My question is what protocol does Apple use with ARD to enable it to do what it does? It is VNC or something propriety? Will VNC do what ARD did?
