Not being overly technical, the only reason I use VNC is when I want a full browsing experience on my H/PC. You are right about the bandwidth
(and I suspect processor speed
) limitations: it is too slow for streaming TV or DVDs, and can barely cope with YouTube videos
(this is on my Izzi-Pro and MP900c
).
Still, there is nothing quite so cool as showing someone all that Firefox goodness on your H/PC!
