EdgeWord: Which Version of Windows 7, Home or Professional?
“Should you spring for the extra money?”
by Jack Dunning
One of the problems that I have with Windows Vista and Windows 7 is that the Home Premium version does not support Windows Remote Desktop Host. By that I mean that I can access my other Business and Professional version computers remotely from anywhere in the world with any of the Windows computers, including Home versions, but I can’t access my Home Premium laptop. The vast majority of the laptops come with Windows Home Premium installed, requiring an upgrade for anything more.
This has not been a major problem, since the laptop is my primary working machine and doesn’t need to act as a host. When I’m writing the Windows Tips and Tricks column, I’m often accessing the XP Professional, Vista Business, and Windows 7 RC machines with the Vista laptop via Remote Desktop. This saves me going upstairs to get on some of the computers (or driving 11 miles, as would be the case with the XP machine). The fact is that I’ve never had a need to access the Vista Home Premium laptop as a Windows Remote Desktop Host, but if I get a Windows 7 laptop, I will increasingly want to reach the old Vista laptop remotely.
