@ rgonzruiz: the restriction applies to Vista Home Premium too, which has been a real disappointment with my Windows Home Server. Live Mesh appears to skip this, which is great, but WHS seems to be lagging behind.

It will be nice when you are able to connect to someone else's Live Mesh device so that you can help them accomplish some task... That would certainly help me stop having to ask people to join and install LogMeIn and add me as a secondary user...

Do you know if this Live Mesh Remote Desktop software relies on the Windows Remote Desktop codebase? I find LogMeIn's remote desktop netcode to be much more efficient than the standard WRD... many times I stay at home and use my work computer remotely, and I definitely prefer using LogMeIn because its simply much more faster (even when using the lowest possible bandwidth configurations)...

It is also important to note that MS is beating its own Vista Basic restriction of not allowing remote desktop connections by allowing Live Mesh users to do it... It simply shows that that was a big marketing mistake... remote desktop is the way of the future :P
