What's the best/easiest way to extend the desktop of my Windows Vista PC to my XP Toshiba Satellite Laptop?

The laptop is a Satellite 1805-S253 with XP Pro on it.

You could use LogMeIn.com's remote control client to control your XP machine from a browser window on your Vista one.

Or by extend did you mean make it so that you could for example drag your mouse cursor from one machine's desktop to the other and back? For that you might take a look at Synergy, which lets you share mouse and keyboard between computers via a network connection.
