Does the Home Preium edition of Windows Vista have the Remote Desctop
Connection option?
 
Home can connect remotely to any Windows version that can offer it. It
cannot offer a connection to others. "Terminal services", like other server
applications are run on the advanced Windows OS.

"D. Domain Join, Group Policy support, Windows Fax and Scan, Encrypting File
System (EFS), Shadow Copy, Corporate Roaming, Offline Files and Folders, and
Remote Desktop are available in Windows Vista Business and Windows Vista
Ultimate."

You cannot use Home Premium as the host computer, but it can be the client
that connects to a host.

TeamViewer is a very easy to configure alternative - free for non-commercial
use.

I have used that hack, to have concurrent sessions in Vista Ultimate, just
like you can with Windows Server 2003. I got it from The Green Button site,
well over a year ago. Bit I think there was a Windows Update that seemed to
have broken it, and whenever I tried to make a second session, the whole
machine crashed. I have since enquired at the same site, and there are
other users that still use the hack without any issues, so I might try it
out again on my HTPC.

At the moment I am taking control of Session 0 using 'Remote Control' in the
User tab of Task Manager, in Windows Server 2003. It works really well, and
you can even have a 32-bit display with ClearType, which is something that
you can only do by default on Vista onwards.
