FAO: Those running Vista Ultimate

I need the full package as I do work remotely from home as a network admin.

has your company not tried using vnc? i am guessing there is some reason i don't know about that forces you to use windows remote.

i've tried it myself and its so bad compared to vnc that i can't describe its badness properly (although i'd like to).

I'd've said the opposite. VNC's just a screen scraper - Microsoft's RDP is more like a thin client solution - far more elegant and should be faster/use less bandwidth.

i am sure you are right. from your post i can tell you are more informed than i am. i thought vnc did exactly what the ms one does, but i only use vnc for doing simple stuff.
 
i brought vista ultimate for one reason.... Dream Scene, now I'd just wish they'd release it already.

oh and because you can just buy the 64bit version w/o no hassle.

There is an RDP client on Vista Home Premium. I use it daily.

Why did you go for Ultimate over the other editions? :)

I'm especially curious due to the price difference when considering the retail edition.

Aye I just checked that as I have both a Technet subscription and an MSDN operating system subscripton. I have access to all full editions of Vista on both :)
