I've been using Windows RDP for years now for lack of a better alternative. All the other services either don't work reliable, or cost too much. I've been using 3AMSoftware'sLogMein for a few weeks now and I must say, I don't remember what life was like before I found it.
Another key advantage with logmein is the computer being logged into does not lose any resolution settings. Even so, they can be changed with the click of a button built into the logmein interface. Color quality can also be adjusted with one click, from greyscale for slower connections to full resolution for those with faster connections. A handy magnifying glass feature is included when resolution is best left alone yet hard to read.
This software comes in several different versions, only one of which is free.
The Free version is indeed free with no time restrictions, Ad's, or other caveat's that are so often inserted with other "Free" software. It allows for basic remote desktop functions through the LogMein website. This means you can do pretty much anything you could do with windows Remote Desktop except for Drag and Drop or Remote Printing, which is a small price to pay for many of the features it provides.
These features include:
Access from any browser
Access from a wireless PDA
Chat
Multiple User Access
A fully hosted service
No need for Firewall, Router, or Proxy Configuration
No Remote PC Admin rights required
End to end 128-256 Bit encryption
