Remote Desktop
Windows 7 Professional
or
Windows 2000/2003/2008
Server must be installed on the
computer to be controlled remotely. This computer is called a host.
A remote computer running on an operating system later than
Windows 95
is required. This
remote computer is called a client. The client software for the remote desktop connection must be
installed on the client.
You must also be connected to the Internet. A broadband Internet connection is good for high
performance. However, because the remote desktop transmits a minimum set of data including
the display data and keyboard data to control the host remotely, a broadband Internet
connection is not required. You can run a remote desktop on a low bandwidth Internet
connection.

Windows 7 Professional
, you cannot use the operating
system of your computer.
