Sorry for not understanding your issue in right manner, this time I try to give a correct answer of your query as “How can I connect from Mac to vista PC” might it helps you- http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/07/0...ows-vista-using-remote-desktop-from-your-mac/

I would suggest perhaps using something like TeamViewer installed on both machines.
I believe they have a version available for most Operating Systems.

Nope.
No Windows Desktop OS supports multiple Remote Desktop Connections simultaneously. That is to say, that the console session is surrendered when a remote destop session is initiated. For that you would need something running Terminal Services, which "legally" is only support on the Windows Server platforms.

It is possible to setup one pc for multi-user (separate monitor, keyboard, etc.) but your Mac will not help you in anyway to achieve that. You will need a multi-user terminal like this one: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3315923&CatId=5216
The discussion seems to be about three different levels of computing.
Badrobot's device basically shares computing power and perhaps shares access to files, but each user is essentially working on his own computer.
The next step up, is using the Mac to remotely log on as a user on the Vista PC at the same time another user is physically logged on to the Vista, and both use the Vista concurrently doing different things, independently and unaware of each others activity.
The third level Is something like TeamViewer that Trouble suggested--collaborative or interactive computing, where both users are aware of each others activity and share a common view, and each can do independent things in relation to the shared view.
Interesting that products exist to do 1 and 3 but the middle one, which sounds like buggs1a's objective, can't be done, essentially because of licensing issues?
