Sharing Mac Pro

[acuratami]

Hi Guys,

I have just recently switched over to Macintosh; I have 2 Mac Pro systems. My budget was only for two of these High end machines but I would like more of my employees to use it. As these machines as supplement to PC, they are not engaged the whole day.
Want your help use them more efficiently.

My questions are:
1) Are there any applications similar to remote desktop on PC?
2) Is it possible to connect and log in to a Mac from a PC? (as a user)


Thanks

Yes and no. Could you check which version of Mac OS X you have installed on the machines? Is it:
Mac OS X or
Mac OS X Server?

With the server version of OS X I believe it's a lot easier to make your wishes come true
I could be wrong, though.

Anyone..?

TimBukTu for both Mac and PC

VNC works well from Mac to PC, haven't tried it from a PC to Mac, but may work.

Go to versiontracker.com and search 'VNC' for both Windows and Mac. On the Mac Vine is good.
UltraVNC works well for PC's.

1) Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection. Is that what you are looking for?
