TightVNC is actually running on the console of the system, so you see what is there. While Remote Desktop virtualizes it, so if you log in via that and someone looks at your actual computer they see the login screen without any of the things you are doing. Not sure how well messages are routed that are are supposed to come up on the console with Remote Desktop, on Windows Terminal services, you can often not see a message that was sent to the console if you are logged in via terminal services.
TightVNC is probably "snappiest" of the vnc versions I have used. But Remote Desktop IS quicker, and also forwards sound. Tightvnc does NOT forward sound.
