Beta Beat: LogMeIn Pro2 for Macintosh now in free public beta
LogMeIn Pro2 will be similar in functionality to the existing Windows version. Through the service and software, people can connect to a Mac from a Mac or Windows machine, control it, print documents, and share and transfer files.
Registration is required in order to download the software and set up a remote session on the service, and the developer would like feedback from beta participants. Several beta releases are expected, and registered users will be notified of code updates.
At this time, no pricing is available for the service. The Windows version currently costs US$65 per year, and the Mac beta version is available for free.

LogMeIn's free version is great to use in a pinch. I don't think the upgraded features in the paid version are worth the price though.
There's always TeamViewer, http://www.teamviewer.com/ - free for non-comercial use. Win/Mac both ways controlling.
