Add remote desktop to Vista home editions

Microsoft in their infinite wisdom/greed (delete as applicable) decided to remove the ability to remotely control the home versions of Windows Vista via remote desktop, as opposed to Windows XP Media Centre which had this built in. This leaves Vista users with the choice of using crappier alternatives like VNC.

Fortunately some smart bastard has hacked Vista Home Premium to run RDP :)

Read about it and get the relevant files here. I’ve tried it on my own Home Premium machine and it works fine - I can RDP to it from my laptop running Ubuntu 7.04.
