Sadly the price point is a little bit steep for me right now. I wish I had some extra funds to pick it up. Hopefully after the holidays. ;) I love remote desktop.

I've been trying out Niel's suggestion (above) and I'm starting to like it quite a bit. I'd recommend giving it a shot. :) Glad to know I’m not crazy.

We routinely use all of these products and in the order that you recommend them. We also augment them with GoToMeeting because of port routing issues. VNC Server will not start as a service on the new Microsoft server operating systems, so RDC is the best free approach to get to them.

With the installation of a VNC server on Windows (RealVNC Free) and Linux machines, you are able to have an iTunes style interface to connect and control all the platforms using one client.
