ahhh.... I was reading it as log-mein. Must have been thinking of Lo-mein
noodles!

So not spyware, but still off topic.

VPN? It's just a repackaged version of Remote Desktop -- no VPN that
I know of (though it does use HTTPS, which provides a certain amount
of protection, but not nearly as much as a VPN). The only advantage
of it over plain Remote Desktop is that it resolves the dynamic IP
problem as well as the issue of operating from the Internet into a
network using NAT (i.e., non-routable IP addresses). Those are very
useful things, but it's really not any different from GoToMyPC.com
and a host of other such offerings that are just thin wrappers
around Remote Desktop. I'm surprised that MS didn't bundle such a
service into Vista and tie it in with WindowsLive.com.
