remote desktop SheLuvsHiking 5/23/2007 5:55:02 PM We have a PC in the office of our small business. We also have a laptop with XP Home installed on it. If we buy XP Pro for the PC, can we use the remote desktop feature from the laptop using Home? We don't want to use Vista b/c we have quickbooks 2006 and those two aren't compatible (correct)? We have received 2 different answers from customer service so far... please help asap. Thanks in advance

Yes, you can use Windows XP Home Edition to Remote Desktop into a Windows XP Professional machine. As for Vista and QuickBooks - I suggest you ask in the appropriate Quicken forum. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "SheLuvsHiking" <SheLuvsHiking[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:84B4E34A-4583-4F48-974D-68592529F546[ at ]microsoft.com...
