whats the difference between remote desktop and RDM Plus? Will RDM Plus work with Vista Home Premium? i pretty much gave up on remote desktop. I had logmein working but it doesnt seem as good as Remote Desktop from the youtube videos i've seen of it in action.

RDM plus is basically the same as RDP, just their twist on it. It uses their own program, so you would need to install that on both ends.

If you like RDP, you can hack it to work on lower tier versions of Vista. To test, just use another computer at the house. To use outside of your network, you will need to open ports on your firewall and use your external address.

Well.. the main difference will be that you'll need to install the RDM+ server on your computer. I haven't personally tried it, but it looks like it's your only real option at this point.

I'm actually curious to see how it performs as well. I've never really been a fan of windows RDP... I use RealVNC for my computers and it is totally awesome.. it's too bad they don't have a mobile client.

Here's the features list:

Looks like it has a few more features than Windows RDP... and the encryption it uses is solid. I've always found remote desktop to be a little weak as far as features go.

Give it a shot and let us know how it goes if you get a chance.
