Hi,

I was just googling and read that only WinXP Pro can be
remote desktop host. This was an old article. Is this
still true? TIA

Windows 2000 Server series, Windows XP Professional(and supersets) and
Windows 2003 Server series are the only products with built in capabilities
to be remote desktop/terminal services hosts.

As Shenan Stanley says--XP Home hasn't changed, except to the extent that
SP2 improved security. Remote Desktop is Pro only (in XP.)

In addition Bill and Shenan's comments you might look at UltraVNC as an alternative... Get the
server, client and encryption plug-in from...
