    I love the new vista network map feature, the visualisation of your network really helps.  I was switching over from a wired to wireless router today so my wifes MCE laptop can work, and it makes things a lot easier when you can see whats connected.

    The only tip I need is how to get Small Business Server 2003 or Server 2003 to connect via Remote Desktop to a Vista machine. Is that possible and how? Right now I think the Windows Defender on Vista is blocking that connection. thanks

    Well the wife finally forced me to open the new MCE laptop from HP, hopefully it will still qualify for a free or discounted upgrade to Vista.  I'll be kicking myself if I miss out on a free/discounted upgrade by a few days. XP MCE is nice though, I didnt realise the plus pack themes were integrated into Windows XP MCE, that was a nice touch.

    Wow document roll back sounds kinda usefull, although is there any way to disable that feature for individual files where you would not want to be able to roll back!

    Any tips on unzipping large files? Seem to have the same problem that XP has - zipped files that run larger than a few hundred megs always generate an error and I have to download a separate ap (WinZip) to succesfully pull them apart...

    Hey DHS13:  I'm thinking that all you need to do is to go to the Properties at Computer (right-click on Computer and select Properties) and select Remote Settings in the left column to enable remote desktop.
