Is there a way of connecting via Remote Desktop to a Vista Home Premium system, or do I need to use VNC instead?
Edit: I'm having a bad day with TLA's. Sorry

From "Remote Desktop Connection: frequently asked questions": You cannot use Remote Desktop Connection to connect to remote (host) computers running the following editions of Windows Vista:
However, any edition of Windows Vista can be running on your computer (the one you want to connect from). So, you'll have to run an alternative software like TightVNC. | |||||||

For Windows Vista Home Premium that basicly doesn't support RPD, you can use Microsoft Live Mesh that'll allow you to remote desktop your computer. Link : https://www.mesh.com/welcome/default.aspx Hope this help. | |||

Yes, but it's a hack and probably illegal. Which is why I won't explain the process here, and link to it instead (I hope that is okay here). http://digg.com/microsoft/Remote_Desktop_Hack_for_Vista_Home_Premium | |||

Remote Desktop and VPN are not related technologies. You can use one without the other. | |||

If you want to go with a good remote desktop program that's free, try I've used it for years. It's free for home use, very fast, and it's interface is very similar to a RDP connection (tab at the top of the window that auto-hides). Very easy to install and connect to also. I might be wrong but I think it's performance may be faster than VNC | |||

I've been using Live Mesh for this - seems to work well for getting to the PCs at my house. You can check it out here. | |||
