So yes  Full Remotes for both from both.

Do you mean a full remote desktop, of just running individual GUI
applications remotely? For the later some might recommend cygwin, but I
have no experience with that. But you might try ssh -X from Damn Small
Linux running in a VMware player session.

It seems to work quite well, I trying it out right now. I'm composing
this message while sitting at my laptop in my living room. Thunderbird
is running on a computer in my basement but displaying in a DSL window
in on Vista.

I'm not sure what facilities cygwin provides but if you just need a
local X environment for the display of remote applications this seems
like a good way to go.
