1) Size. VNC fits on a floppy; NetMeeting is huge. 2) Speed. NetMeeting takes forever to load. 3) RAM footprint. VNC is small enough to be run continuously. NetMeeting takes large amounts of RAM. 4) Network Bandwidth. NetMeeting is sluggish even on low-latency connections. Running several NetMeeting sessions will quickly bog down a LAN. 5) Can run from a Web browser. 6) More flexible. 7) More stable & reliable.
