How to control Vista home PC from XP?

[Maruthi]

Hi, How can I use remote assistance in MSN messenger between vista and xp?
My home PC in India is Vista Home Premium with DSL cable internet and I am
using XP Serv pack2 in USA. Home PC Vista is not yet installed with MSN
messenger, shall I advise my wife to install MSN in home PC? I want to take
control of home pc through MSN messanger to do general clean up like updates,
file transfers etc.,

I am not a tech guy - Is there any other easy alternative other than MSN
messanger? please advise in details.

thanks in advance.
