Why can't a person have remote access to a computer that's operating system is XP Home Edition? Why does it have to be Professional? Can a person who's home computer has Vista, but work computer is XP Professional have access to their work computer?1 person got this answerI do too

Home editions of Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 can't be accessed using Remote Desktop. Microsoft has decided that home computer users don't need that feature. XP Professional, Vista Business and Ultimate, and Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate support access using Remote Desktop. There are products that can do what you want in XP Home Edition, such as RealVNC . A web search for remote access software should bring up more of them.
