I recently encounteresd the superb "Team Viewer" remote computer
control software.
A real lifesaver while trapped behind The Great Firewall of China for 2+ we=
eks.
It does all one could ask and more BUT costs money for commercial use
- ~=3D $%US660 entry level for 1st PC plus about $130 per PC thereafter.
Substantially more for higher functionality versions.
More than I can justify for the use I'd make of it usually.
Free for private use.
Ongoing use by me would probably constitute commercial use from  their
perspective in many cases.

I have only long-ago experience with remote control programs.
eg VNC - very good when I last used it, but TV now seems far more
capable than VNC was then.

Do any of the current free or substantially lower cost remote control
programs come close to matching Team Viewer's near seamless and
complete capabiities?
Complete control of remote PC. File transfer either way. Screen
resolution resizing (by 1080p main screen was hard to read using a
netbook).
Multiple screens.
Access to LAN etc at remote site.
Swap easily between local or remote computers.
Auto optimise for speed or quality or manually manage.
More ...

FWIW, they say:

          "Remote control any computer or Mac over the internet ..."

 Now we know :-)
