| Windows app | Linux app | Experience grade | Notes | |||
| Pidgin | Pidgin | better | Like the integration with notification applet; no separate download | |||
| Remote desktop | Terminal services client | same | ||||
| vnc viewer | remote desktop viewer | same | VNC into some Windows server seems to be a bit lagging in cursor movement | |||
| VMWare Workstation 6.5 | Sun VirtualBox 3 | same | price is definitely better! | |||
| Mapped drive | Connect to server: Windows share | same | CIFS server/share name work fine with no manual WINS config; hidden shares work fine |
