I like logmein for several reasons. I can give permissions to other users and monitor their remote usage. I also have several PC's hooked up to logmein, so I can log in and jump around to different ones. I have my home PC, office PC's, wife's PC, parents PC, etc. I can troubleshoot for people this way instead of talking them through things. (somehow I became the IT guy). I do not have to memorize an IP address or have any special configuration, just log in to logmein from any internet connected PC, even a MAC. And all the PC's have dynamic IP's so I do not have to pay for a static. I am sure XP built-in would suffice, but I really like the user friendliness of logmein. gotomypc is just as easy and convenient but there is amonthly charge per pc.
