If it works anything like GoToMyPC I wouldn't count on it. First of all,
colors are compressed to 256 making even photographs look crappy. Secondly,
I don't think it even bothers to transmit with video output, just graphic
output. For example, when I fire up a video on Windows Media, all I see is
black where the video is streaming back at home.
