The whole concept behind VNC is a FrameBuffer. Would you like to copy entire bitmaps over from one computer to another without any notion of optimization?
If you're using Windows apps, you'd be better off using Citrix or Terminal Services, as they push over API calls instead of raw bitmap data, making the GUI a lot snappier.
The software industry is very immature, and given that, the quality of management varies greatly because there are not enough people who have gone through both the engineering route and the management route to make effective middle and upper managers. That said, it will get better in the long run when engineers (yes - even slashdotters) have gone through the system and the small percentage of them decide that they want to manage and deal on a higher level.
This is a double edged sword however, since as the industry matures, the "fun" level of the projects will slowly bleed away as upper and middle managers (who are becoming more and more technically savvy) become more capable of creating tightly specified and scoped software. It will partially end the hacking mentality that we have today, for good or bad.

When asked what was the strangest thing he ever made, he replied "Butter, from my wife's breast milk"
Also, there will be no SPAM episode, as I asked him about it :-(
