Remote Desktop between XP and Vista
I have a desktop with Windows XP Pro and am considering buying a notebook with VISTA on it... (1) can I use Remote Desktop to login to my XP Pro Desktop from a Vista notebook through a wireless connection, and (2) What version of Vista will I need in order to do this?

Thanks!

Yes, you can (remote desktop) and (remote assist) XP machine using a Vista machine. I'm have Vista Enterprise and remote XP machines all the time. Not really sure what and if other versions support that.
