Now that Skype 2.8 is out of beta with screen sharing, I'm interested to hear what people have tried and/or prefer for screen sharing between Windows and Mac OS X.
Options I'm aware of include:
- Skype
- CrossLoop
- Adobe ConnectNow
My main use for this is doing remote tech support for my extended family. I'm on a mac and most of them are on Windows. I've tried Mac to Mac using Adobe's product and iChat and iChat is much faster.
What do you like? What do you recommend against?
I'm going to have to try LogMeIn.
The issue I have with VNC is that it requires opening ports -- is that still true? If I'm doing tech support for various family members in different parts of the US, I can't rely on the router being properly configured. – Doug Harris – 2009-07-24T22:21:37.850
Yes, VNC does require opening ports, unless you use it on port 80. LogMeIn is probably easiest, and the free version may work well enough for you. – jtbandes – 2009-07-24T23:06:40.423
