What is the best FREE VNC client and server compatible with Windows 7 and 2008 Server? [closed]

I would like know if anybody can help me choosing a good VNC Software for Servers on Windows 2008 and Clients on Windows 7 (for now on Vista, but in October, all the machines will migrate to Windows 7)? Internet cannot help me finding. And it's important that it's free, or not too expensive. Thank you.

Solution 1:

I would say try RealVNC. It's good and very compatible. I'm using it on a Windows 7 Beta Edition, and it works without problems. For Windows 2008 Server, I don't know, but the kernel is the same as Vista.

Solution 2:

I can't find any good reason not to use built-in RDP server, as on Windows it beats VNC hands down. 3 sessions ought to be enough.

Solution 3:

I like UltraVNC.

Solution 4:

Tight VNC works best with Windows Vista/XP/2K3/2K8/7, either 32bit or 64bit. We use it with our Customer sites, over 8,000 machines. Issue with RealVNC/UVNC with XP to 2008, works ok, but from 2008 to XP, Vista, 7 doesn't work too well. Disconnects out of the blue.

We find TightVNC to be a good all-rounder, remote video is a little slower compared to RealVNC Winxp - Winxp or Win2K3 but it's reliable.

Solution 5:

TightVNC and TigerVNC.
