Using Remote access software with XP home edition

[GparkXO]

I am a telephone programmer, not an operating systems guru so I need some expert advice.
A non profit I work with inherited a Compaq Presario 2.7 ghz with XP home edition installed. Do we have to use xp pro to allow us access the unit from the from the web using webex or pc anywhere ?

No.

The only key difference of importance is that XP Home cannot be a HOST for a remote desktop session using native XP sessions. It can remotely control, using native XP features, a remote desktop HOST running Windows XP. but it cannot act in a native Remote Desktop HOST role, using the native remote desktop features of XP Pro.

This has nothing to do with third-party support for remote access to an XP Home machine.

Thank You vry much for your help !
I ddidn't think there would be anissue with third party software, but with windows you never know.
