Ability to have persistent and portable desktop. You can access your user
session from any client and your session persists across termail reboots.

VNC developers admit that and attribute it to lack of information to NT
internals. I run VNC on linux server (P133-128M) over 10baseT and the for
most applications I cannot tell the difference between a local X server and
VNC. The only applications which seem to be slower are XBlast and windows
managers which use way too many bitmaps. *wave raster* ;-)
VNC is certainly worth it.
