I recently installed UltraVNC to allow remote login / control on my Windows Vista Home Premium laptop. I had initially hoped that Windows Vista Home Premium would have Remote Desktop as part of the base install, but I guess Microsoft does need a few features to distinguish it's "business" and "home" offerings to justify the higher costs for business consumers.
Anyhoo, UltraVNC sure does the job: I am able to log in remotely irrespective of the user logged in. I was expecting a more Linux like experience where independent log-ins and desktop sessions are supported, but this is a straight reflection of the host computers local screen. Scary good.
However, I did notice an odd interaction between the UltraVNC's service and the Windows Vista taskbar: every 15 seconds or so, the taskbar jumps up from auto-hide and goes back really quickly.
I don't know what is going on or even how to see what event is causing the taskbar to jump, but I'm sure it is because of the winVNC service because if i stop the service, it doesn't happen. If I restart it, it starts happening again.
