You could consider VNC. I have created a guest account on a linux 
machine, with a running (shared) vncsession. Nice for reviews with 
persons all over the world. Since you don't want to run a dedicated 
server, you could also run a shared vncserver on a Windows machine and 
allow access to others. (realvnc is free)

Netmeeting is more user friendly I must say.
