Remote access Windows Vista to Mac OSX? [closed]

Is there a means to do remote desktop access from Windows Vista to Mac Mini with OSX? Looking to be able to remote in to Mac in order to access system so no need to have it on a seperate monitor/kb to do testing and development.

Anything similar to Windows Remote Desktop that can be used?

Is something like LogMeIn useful? There's a free version that doesn't have sound or file transport. If you can do without sound and have another way of sending files it might work. Or you can purchase a paid version...
