I'm not up on Vista, but whatever you choose, make sure it is secure. It 
should either have ssh built in as a method of connection or be able to 
tunnel over ssh. You don't want to be connecting or logging in "in the 
clear".

I happen to like Timbuktu and have used it for years (back to 1988). I 
use it routinely for remote access. Commercial product.

I know a lot of people like VNC. I found it to be less robust than 
Timbuktu. It's been a couple of years since I last tried it. Free.
