Windows Vista Home Premium and Remote Desktop

[Guest]

I've been using Remote Desktop on my Windows XP machine at home for years to
connect to the office and work from home whenever necessary. I've heard that
Windows Vista Home Premium doesn't support Remote Desktop. Is this true ? I
thought Remote Desktop was supposed to work on all flavours of Windows.

The remote desktop client is included in all editions of Vista. What is not
supported in Home Premium is incoming remote destkop connections, but you
should be able to connect to your work.

Thanks for the response, Tom.

Is that still true if my machine at the office were running XP ?

The Vista Remote Desktop client can connect to all of the older OS systems.
There may be some issues going the other direction.
