:I swear we just had this same thread a month ago -- same people, same order

:D:o:p:) -- and it was that thread that led me to try this software.
It's actually very, very good. The freeware OpenSource version is very well documented, easy to setup and use, and -- as it says -- capable of working anywhere that there's a Java-enabled web browser.
The downside is that it seems a bit slow -- although I'm not convinced whether the slowness might just be local to my system.
So as long as your not streaming video, I'd recommend it as another to the alternatives already mentioned here.
It is pretty good. I finally got this setup on one of my XP Pro boxes and was impressed by how easy it was to install, configure and use. Over a cable broadband to cable broadband link reponse with RDP was very good, IMO...
Its well worth looking at, again IMHO...
