Windows Vista Home really is the poor relative of the more featured Vista Business, Ultimate and Enterprise editions, as it misses out on a lot of useful functionality.

Luckily gHacks has come up with a way to provide at least Remote Desktop functionality to Windows Vista Home Basic and Home Premium, by using TightVNC which only takes up 2MB of space so it is very light.

For tips on setting up TightVNC then pay a visit to gHacks.

    Post sp1 / No dll hacks.
    I was frustrated too that I could not remote from my laptop with vista premiun to my desktop with ultimate. I could remote the other way of course.
    Last night I forwarded udp and tcp ports 3389 on my router using the desktops address and was able to remote to my desktop from my laptop using the free rdc download from microsoft.
    Hope this helps someone else.

    TightVNC is definitely NOT a substitute for Remote Desktop Connection. According to comments on gHacks' post, TightVNC seems to work poorly on Windows Vista.

    This is a more promising post.
