Leopard Screen Sharing Screenshots
9to5mac details some screenshots from Apple's upcoming Screen Sharing feature in Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5).
"Screen Sharing" offers some functionality that was previously reserved for Apple Remote Desktop by allowing you to remotely control other Macs from Leopard. Apple conveniently added client-side support to Mac OS X 10.4.10, allowing Leopard (10.5) users to control older Tiger (10.4.10) Mac OS X installations.
The feature allows you to encrypt data across the connection and change the quality of the view. The feature was originally described as a part of iChat when it was first introduced at the 2006 WWDC.

This is great for when I need to help my sister out with something as she is in college and I am still at home in high school.

Awesome. I found myself really, really wanting this this past weekend while I sat on the couch with my work's MacBook Pro, manipulating files that were actually stored on my iMac in the basement.
Yes, I know there are alternatives....but I seem to want/need this so infrequently that's its just not worth the hassle to setup. Having it built-in will be awfully nice.

Awesome. VNC works fine on my home network, but over the internet it sucks and is really slow.
This is one of the things I like about Windows better than on a Mac; Windows Remote Desktop is awesome. I use it all the time from Macs and PCs to control my work Windows PC and it could not be any better.

Will "Back to my Mac" from .Mac allow this to work with Macs that are behind routers?

I would have hoped they'd kept this feature in iChat as you wouldn't have to set up anything.
For now, I'm using a service called logmein. You'll have to install an app on the mac you want to control, but the whole process is really seemless.

But Windows Remote Desktop doesn't actually let you "remote control" another machine, at least not in a way that lets you physically take over the screen and let the user see what you're doing.
This is great. I love ARD but the $300 price tag was never too enticing...although for as stable as it is compared to VNC, I suppose it's worth something. This is just another reason why I NEED Leopard NOW.

I belive so. That's one of the things I got really excited about during the keynote. I've always had to use Remote Desktop to admin my home computers while at school. The only problem with that is that I can only have the ports forwarded to one computer at a time. What would be really cool with "Back to my Mac" is if it worked as kind of a VPN so that I could access mulitple different computers behind a DHCP server.
