RE: windows xp - upgrade or full version?

[Smith, Matthew P -CONT(CSC)]

Really?  Hmm, I looked at way back when and came away thinking that only professional would allow me to do remote desktop.  At least, the local windows help docs made it seem that way.  That is really the only reason that I wanted them to go pro.  But if I can get the same functionality from home edition....  I don't really see the need to have it set up as a "server" as you say.  I'm pretty sure anytime I hop on there they will have called me and be sitting in front of the screen anyway.


Any other reasons to justify the extra expense for pro for non-power users?  They are totally email/word/surfing only users.


Thanks, Jim.


Matthew.

Just so you know - you can remote desktop for assistance in XP Home.

Anybody on XP (home or pro) can "request" assistance and share their
desktop, but only pro can set up a "server" allowing the desktop to be
accessed at will.

But you are right in one thing: remote desktop (which I use all the time to
help my mommy who uses XP Home) is the BALLS.  No more confused "what
button?" or "It's says something bad!" or "I think the mouse crashed".  ;^)
