If anyone uses or follows TeamViewer you will know there is V5.1 Beta available and hosts some enhanced improvements.

New Features included in TeamViewer 5.1

* Terminal Server support: TeamViewer can be configured to create an ID per user on server operating systems. With this new feature each Terminal Server user can be accessed remotely at the same time.
* Files can be transferred to the remote desktop by drag & drop on the remote control window
* Groups are matched also when searching in the partner list
* A new button in the remote toolbar simplifies switching between multiple remote monitors
* A new button is shown in the remote toolbar when the remote computer requests the input of the Ctrl+Alt+Del key combination
* The current computer is marked with "this computer" in the partner list

Further improvements

* Unicode characters in e-mail templates are handled correctly
* Audio is transmitted to all presentation participants
* The Windows desktop gets locked correctly after a TeamViewer session
* All windows appear in the foreground if they were created through user interaction
* Several problems in file transfer were resolved

This plus previous discussions on the topic are really making this program look like a must-have. Thanks for the update.

Ideal for Home use! What have you been using for Remote Desktoping (!) into someone's PC/Mac etc..? UVNC, RealVNC?

TightVNC almost exclusively for Mac and PC, I switched for a while to Windows own RDP because it was a little more responsive. I used ShowMyPC (http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=1328) once with a friend with mixed results because we kept losing connection, though I don't think that was ShowMyPC's fault and instead our physical connection.
