I've used LogMeIn on PC and Mac for remote support. It gets the job done, although I'd sure never let somebody install it on my computer! I'm also generally not the one placing tech calls, though.

If the context is remote desktop support, this might not fit the bill, but if the person you were talking to is comfortable setting up software, check out: https://github.com/kanaka/noVNC It's all HTML5 compliant and uses no flash, plugs into an existing VNC server.

Have not tried it myself, but it's on my list of fun projects. Mosh first, though. ;)
