Actually, I tried BO2k before I tried VNC, and no, VNC is much easier to
use.
BO2k gives you better control over some things (namely running processes),
but VNC is better when it comes to desktop control :)

Hear, hear, I think if a VNC port is open through the firewall to the
Internet someone should be very fired, tarred (not with the typical UN*X
command), feathered, dragged across town, and exhibited for public
ridicule.
Besides, there already is free software that gives one complete control
over a Windows box. I'm surprised I didn't mention it earlier, it's
called BackOrifice. I hear its very simple in use. Here is a link to the
