Hamachi with Window Remote Desktop (You have to have a XP Pro TermServer with packages with like XP home)... which of course now owned by LogMeIn and which now uses Hamachi under-the-firewall technology. I use UltraVNC with a lot of clients as it works well on both Windows and Linux (in conjunction with Putty) and it is free. On the other hand the absolute simplest remote product is LogMeIn. Many companies around here use it as their standard regardless the price. There are also bulk purchase rates for larger support companies. All Windows servers have build-in Remote Desktop (TermServer) administration support and all major Linux products have UltraVNC technology built in.
