For me as well. And SharedView /does/ traverse firewalls, which is a key requirement.

While we currently use WebEx and have used Live Meeting in the past for shared demonstrations, presentations, and document editing/review, it still doesn’t solve the one-to-one support needs for my 80 year old mother. That’s why I use FogCreek Co-Pilot. My mother (who lives over 1,500 miles away) simply opens an e-mail the service creates and clicks on the link provided when I set up the session. I then have full control over her PC to fix things such as finding the pictures she “lost” when she uploaded them from her digital camera. The best thing about Co-Pilot is that it deals with the firewalls that Comcast has implemented by using Port 80. I can also buy the service for a single day which is all I usually need. It is a solution that works and works well.
