LogMeIn releases remote control for Macs

LogMeIn today began offering a version of its remote-access service for Mac users. Once installed, LogMeIn Free for Mac allows a computer to be controlled from another computer via a Web browser.

The company is also releasing a beta version of LogMeIn Rescue for Mac for support technicians performing long-distance control and repair. The preview version of that service involved 30,000 test users.

Both new LogMeIn tools work with Macs running OS 10. 4 Tiger and 10.5 Leopard operating systems. Users can access their Macs from browsers on computers running Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems, as well as on the iPhone and other compatible handhelds.

I've been using LogMeIn for Windows happily for more than a year. Although sometimes it seems to perform better in Internet Explorer than in Firefox, I have no complaints about the free, stable service for Windows, except that it keeps me on the job in the wee hours of the morning. I haven't yet tested the Mac-ready LogMeIn.

Works great...

I've been using the LogMeIn Beta for Mac for several months and it has worked flawlessly all along. I have been a user of LogMeIn on several PC's for some time and my Mac fits in with no problems. I get a kick out of tech savvy folks reaction when they see my Mac desktop on my HP laptop in full screen mode...

The product is great and is platform agnostic moreover it can
manage secure log ins over encryption and fully client server
solution. And can be installed as pushed installs (though i would
not dare do this on a PC).

There is also another product named Yuuguu that works on both
PC and Macs ...

How is this different from something like I'm InTouch - http://www.imintouch.net?
