Hey duffy: Remote Assistance can do this, although in a limited way, as someone needs to be on the other end to respond. Remote Desktop is available in the Ultimate, Business and Enterprise SKUs.

Ok, not sure where to ask this question, but here goes. Is there a way to connect remotely to a Vista Home Premium computer from a SBS2003 server or from the Internet without having to use GoToMyPc or some software like that?

Hey r3m0t: I've managed to dig up a little more info on the exclusive use of .NET 3.0 for the Codex Leicester: The developers involved, who didn't have a history of building on the Microsoft platform, have stated that this app could only be built by utilizing the capabilities in .NET Framework 3.0. They're looking at WPF/E to provide future cross-platform and/or cross-browser access.

Hey tino: Macs with x86-architecture chips will also run Windows Vista.

@r3m0t: Yes, because its about Windows Vista. I know that WPF is also coming to other platforms but sometimes it looks not very professional. On some interactive Flash shows on the new Vista website you can see some PCs with a one button Mac mouse! I hope this is a joke?!

tino: It's certified for Vista, but I suppose it also works on a Mac. What's wrong with that? Should they record everything twice?

iBloks is such a supid application. And whats that: on the iBloks website it reads "certified for Windows Vista" but the tutorial videos are captured on a Mac? Sorry gentlemen, but how stupid is that? You are killing your Windows brand with such stuff.

Hey Lone Shepherd: the public newsgroups are always a good channel for bug reporting and discussion. Many issues are picked up by the new diagnostics technology in the Problem Reports and Solutions control panel, but if one happens not to be detected, I'd suggest going to the newsgroups to look for an existing report of the issue or to open up discussion on the topic if that has not already occurred.

Hey r3m0t: I think the only restriction is on the Codex Leicester loaned by Bill Gates. I don't have insight into the reason for such a restriction, however.

pity I returned my "defective by design" upgrade version of Vista Business. Nobody from Microsoft never really answered about why they changed the upgrade procedure on Vista.

Why is the British Library making some content exclusive to Turning the Pages 2.0? Are they trying to support Microsoft?
