Version: LogMeIn Free 4.0.68
Pros: I use this software for several computers, heck, I could use RDP except I can't for the W2k machines. There's always VNC but LogMeIn is easier and less things you have to mess with. If there weren't a free version available, I might pay for this software. It's good enough software worth the $.
Cons: Support for Linux and working with ZoneAlarm you have to make sure that "protect the client" setting is unchecked, otherwise you won't be able to close ZA alert windows, etc.

Version: LogMeIn Free 4.0.68
Pros: It does what it says it does, lets me have total control. This could be exploited somewhere, I think. I will keep aware. I can't beleieve it's free! I smell a trap...
Cons: Very much a resource and memory hog. I only leave it running if I actually intend to use it.

"Oustanding. Incredible. It's real"
Pros: It's free (on a certain way), and you really take control on the other machine. It even is faster than PC Anywhere. You can count on it for sure with this program if you have to log into a remote station.
It worked just perfect in conections XP-Vista and Vista-XP
Cons: The fee. But it sure worths it

Version: LogMeIn Free 4.0.68
"Works great, very feature rich"
Pros: The free version provides really nice and very responsive remote screen control, with a lot of nice features. The new version makes it a lot easier to change screen resolution and colors on the fly, and it has some other nice features (such as the laser pointer) for helping a user at the remote system.
LogMeIn is a lot better than dynamic IP services if you need access to PCs that don't have fixed IPs. Also, it's much easier with LMI to access multiple PCs that go through a NAT router. With Windows remote desktop, VNC, etc. you have to manually configure unique port #s on each machine and then forward those ports in the router. With LMI, you just set up the app on each PC; from then on, you just click it from a list on the LMI site.
I actually switched five PCs -- that are over 2500 miles away -- from VNC to LMI...I installed and configured LogMeIn using VNC, then logged back in through LMI and disabled the VNC software. Now I don't have to leave all those ports open through the firewall for VNC.
Cons: Some cool features, esp. the transferring files between the remote and local machines, require the paid service, which is expensive. I bought it for a year for my home machine on a half-off promo deal; but the regular prices are too high and the multi-user discount is too small. Fortunately, you can do a lot with the free version.
