Vista Home Premium

[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.
