Apple's remote desktop client uses the VNC protocol and is compatible with other VNC software. You can thus use it or a handful of third-party software options (i.e. ChickenOfTheVNC) as a client to the remote VNC server. It doesn't matter that the remote computer is Windows and the client is Macintosh. VNC will work with any combination of operating systems.
Microsoft's remote desktop client uses a different protocol and requires that the Windows server is running the specific Microsoft remote desktop protocol server software. Windows XP Pro has this built-in. Windows XP Home does not.
