As a regular user of VNC (I'm using UltraVNC) over Putty (ssh), to a
Linux box across the net,  it too sucks performancewise, and I have
pretty good network connections (comcast at 6Mb on the VNC side, and
2+Mb DSL on the Linux side).

I concur, M$ has it all over VNC.

I have no experience on Freenx, but will read up.
