Is there an remote desktop like VNC on Vista ?

With tools like VNC, you can connect to another PC and observe what the
person on that PC is doing ?

Can you do that with Remote Desktop ? When I try to RDC in, I have my own
session, but I want to view what the person on the other machine is doing

Does Vista have something better ?

under remote assistance settings you can "allow this computer to be
controlled remotely"....but its not meant for just viewing what they're up
to....VNC is still better for that.

Or if you are using citrix you can shadow the user's session.

You don't need Citrix to shadow user sessions, that's a native
feature of Windows TS, has been since W2K TS.

Start your own rdp session to the TS, and then use the shadow
command, or Terminal Services Manager.
