"PC Anywhere is easier to use, of course it's faster than the last version. The last version that was out was version 8.0 which was put out probably about 18 months or so ago. Due to a lot of customer feedback, we made it a little bit easier to use. The file transfer UI is enhanced, made it simple to use, you have your drag and drop file transfer. Compression is enhanced. Screen painting is enhanced, so everything is faster when you do make a connection."
With a rebate, pcAnywhere sells for under a hundred dollars. You can find more information at symantec.com.
