For desktop sharing there is always VNC. For application sharing you could set up RDP (formerly Terminal Services) using profiles and policies to offer access only to (a) certain environment / application(s) which could go some way to simulating application sharing, but this is more complex and is at a sys admin rather than end user level...
Of course, for desktop sharing, app sharing (and more) there is always Citrix - but this is also at a sys admin level and far from free...

Colin, are you aware of a free, multiplatform application that does desk-top and application sharing as neatly as NetMeeting? OK. apart from Windows Messenger :-) I would be interested to know if there are any. Cheers, Geoff.
