Vista - Remote Desktop and Vista Home Addition

The link below lists the features of the different versions of Vista. The
feature list indicates that neither of the Home additions have Remote Desktop
capabilities. After searching the web for clarification I read one post that
said that the Home addition can remote out but can not have a user Remote
Desktop into the Vista Home addition PC. I use VPN and Remote Desktop to
connect to my work PC from home. Can you please clarify Remote Desktop
capabilities for Home Addition Vista.

Vista Home editions can act as Remote Desktop "clients" but not as a host.
You need Vista Ultimate, Enterprise or Business edition if you want to
remotely control your Vista machine.
