Version: LogMeIn Free 4.0.784
"Been using it for years, and it works GREAT!"
Pros: It just works the way you want, 99% of the time.
It REALLY is FREE; at least it has been for years.Cons: Every once in a while, a PC will go offline, and it may need to be rebooted. But that has always taken care of it. Other than that, just about perfect.
Summary: I've been using it for a few years, for about 5 different PCs. (No, this is allowed, because they're not all mine; I set it up for other people. They use it, and occasionally ask me to log in and look at or fix something.)
I've had it on my personal PC for about 3 years, and never gave them my credit card number.
The only complaints I ever get are about speed, or something that they don't know how to use it, and once I show them they're happy. Of course, ANY remote access will have speed issues sometimes, so I recommend LogMeIn enthusiastically, and it's one of the VERY few pieces of software I do that with.
Oh, by the way, what do I do for a living? I write software.
"Delighted" is not too strong a word for how people react after I set it up for them. Especially if they just bought a netbook and are going to travel with it.
Why is it that the free software so often works better than the stuff you have to pay for? And is that related to why it's so hard go get people to pay me for writing software? Just asking.
