VNC actually has pretty decent performance on windows especially if
you're on a lan (especially 100mbit).  Sometimes you need to tune the
compression just right.  But it is true that its not nearly as fast as
remote desktop from winXP.  There's some linux remote desktop viewer app
in production, but there's no windows 95/98/ME/2000 version of remote
desktop or anything.
