Best RDP Style Program

Hi Guys,

I currently use UltraVNC at work for viewing remote servers/PC's. The program is good for general use but I notice quite a bit of lag even when doing the most simple of tasks.

Can anyone recommend any alternatives that have proven to be stable and provide a nice fluid viewing experience.

I have previously come across a company who used a program to remotely view my PC via a web browser (I entered a code they provided and they we're able to see my screen but not move the mouse/use the keyboard + it wasn't gotomypc). Can anyone tell me of any programs, linux or windows, that would provide this service (preferably free)?

Thanks.

These are the ones that I have generally used.

LogMeIn (Windows/Mac)
TightVNC (Windows/Linux)
TeamViewer (Windows/Mac)
Windows Remote Desktop Connection (Windows)
UltraVNC (Windows)
Bomgar (Windows/Linux/Mac)

There is also a Remote Desktop Connection client for OS X. Clicky

I use it on a daily basis and works very well.

Dameware is another one, actually pretty good but it's not freeware.

Dameware mini remote is what I use most often. I also use UltraVNC the program itself isn't slow for me, just the virtual machine running in it lol.
