I've always been a fan of pcanywhere (there's a program with longevity [img]smile.gif[/img] ), but lately I've just been using terminal services on my 2000 and .Net servers... over broadband the connection is reasonably snappy.

I think that help utility looks pretty cool (have yet to use it tho). A lot has been made of some of the security features of xp... things like activation are really intended to curb the rampant pirating of the os, not to invade our privacy. Now having said that, the whole .NET Passport stuff is a concern... I hate to see too much of my personal information trusted to someone else (M$ in this case). My M$ Universal Subscription is managed through that single point, along with pretty much everything else that's Microsoft related. Seems pretty risky to me, if someone got ahold of that info they could cause all sorts of problems for myself and microsoft.
