You know the scenario, you've tasked someone in the office to handle some work on your behalf, you show them the ropes and ask if they understand. You head out on the road with your laptop and you receive an email saying that they're confused and need your help. Trying to talk them through the details, over the phone, will be impossible and will cost you a fortune on your mobile. Worse, you have a Mac so there's no easy way of connecting to their computer and showing them how to perform the task.

CrossLoop for Mac 1.1 is brand new technology that enables a Mac user to connect to another Mac or PC, across the Internet and control that computer. This means you could be away with your Mac laptop in another territory, log in to their computer and show them how to perform the task on their computer. They can simply follow the mouse, under your control. Of course, CrossLoop enables you to login and control any computer (with end-user authorisation), so you could even use the software to show other users how to perform tasks or use it to fix their computer, for a fee.
