ARD is a cool app, but it would be cool cross-plataform support: observe, control, share, manage Macs, Linux, Unix and windows boxes from a Mac!! that would be really cool! There are rumors of version 2 comming soon! I think iChat should add some ARD feature or M$ netmeeting feature, like sharing and controling the desktop or apps from others, while in a multi-user video-chat. That will be true collaboration!!!

  Actually, version 2 is going to use VNC, so it will be compatible with properly configured Unices and Windows machines running VNC servers. There's already free software to allow Macs to use RDC on Windows machines, also.

  Is apple remote desktop based on NeXT's remote desktop capabiltys ?... I wonder next was spost to have a wicked remote desktop...
  
  Also, VNC is the worst remote desktop protocal ever seen :) its extreemly laggy .. Unlike say XWindows or even Windows remote destop protocal...
  
  You can already remotly admin a Linux system using an apple .. all you need is XWindows installed and properly set up to agnolage XDMCP (?) and then just use xnest -queary hostname
