    I'm in the process of updating my entire home network and I'm trying to connect all of the dots before I start purchasing everything. My main question is this: Do computers running Windows 7 provide the functionality of being able to use the remote access function in home server? From what i've seen so far, it only works on certain versions of Vista and XP. Is it possible that UPGRADING to Windows 7 causes you to lose this feature?

    If it does work with Windows 7, does it apply to all versions, or just certain ones???

    Thanks (this is my first ever post, so please forgive me if i missed anything important)

    It's still the same for 7 (only certain versions).

    As long as you upgrade to a supported version, no.

    If it does work with Windows 7, does it apply to all versions, or just certain ones???

    It's just like Vista (only Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise).
