Is there a remote desktop for iMAc to XP computers via internet?

Im about to go iMac!!! but all my friends, family have XP machines.

how can I (or is it even possible) to use remote desktop like I do currently on my XP machine to remote desktop to them to help with machine problems/software problems?

ie is there a program free or not for Mac that can do this to Windows machines?

cheers

Have a look at LogMeIn.com

I use it for accessing my PC's at home from work, and it's very effective. There is a free version and a Pro version and the free version has served me well so far
