You can't remote to a Windows Vista Home or Home Premium PC with Remote
Desktop. This is not a bug but a limitation set by Microsoft. You need
Vista Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate to be able to remote to it using
Remote Desktop. You can remote to another computer using Remote Desktop
with any version of Vista but most versions can't be remoted to using Remote
Desktop.
