Is anyone running a Mac Mini via VNC from a Windows machine? How's that working for you?
Here's why
I'm running a Microsoft Studio 2+. Overall, I'm happy with it for Capture One. It takes a long time to render video using Imaging Edge Desktop for image stabilization and colour correction.
VNC
I'm not set on this particular software. Anything that would allow me to control the Mac from my Windows machine (and view high resolution video) will do.
Thanks for any insights or suggestions.

- I don't have room for another large monitor, so I'd like to remote control the Mac Mini from the Microsoft Studio 2+ (gorgeous 28" monitor with touch and pen interface). I understand the touch and pen interface will not work on the Mac
- The Microsoft Studio 2+ is not easily upgradeable, but I'm committed to keeping it for lots of reasons
- I don't know if Imaging Edge Desktop rendering would be much faster on a Mac Mini, so if anyone has any experience with this, I'd appreciate your insights
- My only application for the Mac would be video editing (and possibly Capture One if it turns out there's some benefit to running it on the Mac instead of the PC). I'm not dead set on getting a Mac, but I am curious enough to get one if it looks like this could work.
- I'm willing to get whatever SSDs would be necessary, whether that installed or external
