Good Product for Free
jsoulesoneJuly 5, 2013
Pros
Easy to set up and use. I used the download from the TightVNC web site ( so no bloatware and followed the installation instructions from the documentation.
Cons
Some lag between the viewer and the server, but that may be on my limited knowledge. Tolerable for now. So I don't really consider it a con against the program.
Summary
I've been using TightVNC on three laptops and a desktop. Only one is still running Vista. I like the idea that I don't have to run into the other rooms to deal with tech issues.
Great product, easy to use

Pros
Easy to use and easy to log in from PC to Mac.
Cons
1. GUI could use some upgrades. 2. Hidden add-on/bloatware was downloaded when embedded in the download from the TightVNC website. Was a browser add-on. Had to uninstall it from the PC.
Summary
Works well. Easy to use. Able to view Mac from PC and control it. GUI could use some finessing. Hidden add-on/bloatware was in with the download. Had to uninstall the bloatware. 3 stars because, I understand it is free and they need to make their money by using ads and such, BUT please disclose this in the download and give the option to opt out.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Mar 21, 2013<p/>Installed on Windows 7 64 bit.
Exactly what I was looking for

Pros
Can install as client only if you don't need server. PC connects to Mac without installing any Mac SW. No cloud account or external login needed. Easy local LAN setup. Free!
Cons
Hard to find in CNET Downloads... I found a reference to this software in a blog! These guys deserve to be discovered.
Summary
For my purpose - connecting my PC to a Mac mini music server that sits in my audio system with no screen or keyboard - TightVNC is exactly what I was looking for. Shame it wasn't easy to find on CNET.
