CoPilot.com - new product from Joel Spolsky

Interns, working for Joel Spolsky this summer, were tasked with much more than buying donuts and fixing the printer jams. Project Aardvark blog kept track of the product development and other issues the intern team had, and CoPilot is a user-friendly remote desktop product, targeted mostly towards geeks and their tech-support-needing families. To quote Spolsky:

In a nutshell, you go to copilot.com and get an invitation code. You tell your uncle to go to copilot.com and type in that same invitation code. You each get a little program to download and run. When you run the program, your uncle’s computer screen shows up in a window. When you move your mouse, his mouse moves. When you type something, it appears on his computer.
