Question: why would you use this instead of Back to My Mac on OSX? Isn't that all the same?

VNC servers can run on Linux, Windows, OS X. This is more similar to running VNC client as a native binary for your OS, except this lets you do it in Chrome.

The biggest benefit I can tell is if you can run this on Chrome OS now. That, and pushing the technology forward.
