Yup. I'm currently using Remote Assistance with my WinXP users. This
requires WinXP Pro, but since pro was required for other things, we already
use it.
The downside of Remote Assistance is that the user has to be able to
create a request. Sometimes, I have to take over their computers with RDP,
create a request, let them log back in, then I accept the request on my
machine. The other downside is that, afaik, Remote Assistance request can
only be accepted by a Windows OS. This is what keeps me from moving many of
my workstations away from MS.
