early bird gets the worm ;)

This software upgrade for remote desktop looks very sweet, and seems to be quite a substantial step up from the previous version. The basic functionality seems to be the same, with the addition of all sorts of new toys and gizmos for network admins that will be sure to make them quite happy.

Can someone tell me why Windoze has this for free and we have to pay $500? ($300 edu discount).

Is there a big difference in what either can do? I just never understood why Apple makes us pay big for it.

I'd say that that is a very good point...although some people around here will dig and dig until they can find a smart aleck answer to prove you wrong.

With all these releases before WWDC it makes you wonder what could possibly be left to show off (apart from Tiger).

As to above poster - why don't you read all the info about Remote Desktop? It's not the same as the windows tool (If you just want that just download OSXVnc). It provides an administrator a complete network monitoring and assistance tool.
