How can I add a Windows computer to ARD

I work as an admin for a Middle School. 35 ACER ApsireOne Netbooks were purchased for the school (not my decision). They are running Windows 7 professional. Is there any way I can add these to Apple Remote Desktop?

There is no full ARD client for Windows, but you can use ARD to observe and control a Windows system if you install VNC on the Windows machines. You can then add the Windows systems via IP address (which may be problematical with laptops which will have shifting addresses). Unless you really want to have all your system controllable from a single application, though, using Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection Client usually works better.
