still not VPN function an mac version .-(

7.0.10692 has a beta tag when I open it. But it is not marked beta on MacUpdate. I really think you guys need to improve the current situation. Please mark betas with a b or another tag in the main listing and headline so the user can differentiate them from the official releases.

This is the best ever free remote desktop app. I use it every day.

TeamViewer is a great product, but the new Chrome browser (currently in beta) has a similar feature already integrated. That means you can remote control any computer that has the new chrome browser.

I was skeptical of TeamViewer at first; being the primary tech support person for relatively computer illiterate family members, each living 80 miles or so away, I'd tried remote access applications before, mostly of the VNC variety, and had been sorely disappointed. Screen Sharing with the Mac and iChat worked pretty well, but not when that family member was clanking along on a G3 iMac and Tiger's version of iChat had never heard of screen sharing.

My mom, whilst working from home, had trouble setting something up and the tech support guy from her company had her install TeamViewer. She told me about this and I checked it out, not expecting to see anything but a Windows application, but lo and behold, it worked on nearly every platform.

It has since become one of my invaluable tools for dealing with computer issues of those that are not within driving distance, and when setting up a machine for someone is one of the pieces of software that I install by default. It's easy, with no real setup required: start it up, "tell me the numbers" and we're off.

While it does have a few shortcomings, none of them are particularly drastic or take away from the functionality of the software. It works, it's free, and that's about all that really matters.
