XP Home to XP Pro using Remote Desktop Connection 1

[marvhuffaker]

Is it true that an XP Home system cannot connect and control an XP Pro system using Remote Desktop Connection?

Thanks.

It is not true. "You can use Windows XP Home Edition as the client for accessing your Windows XP Professional computer running Remote Desktop."

Moreover, "The Remote Desktop Client software is available for 32-bit Windows platforms: Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Me, and Windows 2000."

Both quotations above from:
Frequently Asked Questions About Remote Desktop

http://www.microsoft.com/WINDOWSXP/remotedesktop/faq.asp

The reverse is true -- an XP Home machine cannot act as the Remote Desktop HOST, and therefore cannot be remotely controlled.
