window vista premium. Is Remote Desktop client is still available on Windows
vista Primum edition?

I am in the process of buying this laptop and wanted to make sure that i can
still access my work computer using VPN and Remote desktop client.

Thank you in advance.

Yes, the Remote Desktop client is available on Vista Premium.

Hope this helps.

Yes, this works from Vista, but, depending on what VPN service and client
you are using, you might need a Vista specific VPN client version.

For example, if you are using the Cisco VPN solution, you will most likely
need to use the Cisco VPN client version 4.8.02.0010 or later. I'm using it
from home and it works OK. No support for 64 bit Vista at this point.

It's perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
