Vista Home Premium

[Guest himshah]

Is there a way to activate RDP host on Home Premium? i Purchase new Vista

with Media Center and now find out that I cannot host Remote Desktop. I was

able to do it with XP Media Center.

You could use MCE extender on Home Premium, however, there is no way to

enable regular remote desktop connections on Home Premium. The comparison of

various editions of vista:

That is so terrible. Now I know why people move to MAC. I will get MAC

instead of PC and Microsoft. I will revert back to XP and next time get MAC.

Just to make sure I understand what is "so terrible".

- If it is about not having remote desktop feature with MCE - then the

answer is Ultimate edition - it supports both remote desktop as well as MCE.

- If it is about not having remote desktop on Home Premium - XP Home did not

have remote desktop either. MCE did have it, but then MCE + Remote desktop

are part of Ultimate edition. MCE on Home Premium was probably targetted for

home entertainment, where people may not use remote desktop.

 

Anyway, the feedback is noted down.
