If you connect to your work network from home and are planning to upgrade to Vista …
At my workplace many of the staff in the IT section, myself included, work from home one or two days per week.
We log into the company’s network via a program called Remote Desktop Connection. The way it’s set up at our workplace, once you log onto the network, you can then access your work PC, which gives you access to all the programs and hard drives you use normally.
Remote Desktop Connection is a Microsoft product. It ships with Windows XP, or you can download it from the Microsoft site to use with Windows 95, Windows 98 and 98 Second Edition, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows 2000.
Enter Vista.
Remote Desktop Connection still comes packaged with Vista Business and Vista Ultimate—but it is not provided with any of the Vista Home range. That’s not something you want to find out after you have purchased your brand new PC or upgraded your operating system.
Thus if you remote connect into the office buying Vista Home is not an option.
