I have 2 laptops and 1 desktop running Vista Home Premium and I would like to remotely control all 3 from any machine.
Since Vista Home Premium doesn't have RDC (Thanks M$) are there any other options available?
I am looking to add a Windows Home Server to my network as NAS for back up and such in the next couple of weeks,

Thanks

You can "hack" Vista home premium and use RDP if you don't want to use VNC.  The hack will basically install Windows terminal services.  Also an alternative to RDP and VNC that I have been using with one of my Vista machines is TeamViewer.  If you want to stick with RDP just google "vista home premium rdp hack".  One neat thing about the RDP hack is multiple users can RDP to the same machine and have their own desktop/profile up at the same since the hack is using terminal services.
