You can use ARD to remote control a windows machines, ARD is built on VNC

You'll have to install a VNC server on the windows machine you want to access

You won't be able to use most of the ARD features as they are specific to mac

You'll be be able to see and control the desktop and that's about it

You can also find VNC /Remote Desktop apps in the iOS store that will allow remote desktop connection from iPad /iPhone,


There is a mac version of Microsoft remote desktop in the Mac App Store
