OK, so I've been peepin the scene (as much of a scene as there is for VNC server software) and I've drawn 3 conclusions.
1.
TightVNC
seems to get screen data the fastest, but the "run as a service" aspect of it doesn't appear to work in vista. The service starts, and runs, but no VNC logins are possible and the service helper application never starts. Therefore, of course, you have to have your windows account logged in to use it (at least in vista).
2.
RealVNC
is probably awesome. Unfortunately, no vista support, so there's not much I can do.
3.
UltraVNC
appears to be the best alternative, because like RealVNC, it runs as a service (and actually works). The screen refresh seems a tad slower than TightVNC, but I'll take that in exchange for being able to login to my windows account.
<updating the guide to add UltraVNC as a server choice>
