    Usung Vista Home Prem 32bit. I have utilized the Remote features to assist a
    friend in another state by taking control of his PC remotely. I was just
    reviewing a comparision Chart of the new Windows7 versions. It shows Desktop
    Remote Host is not available in Windows7 Home Prem....have I understood this
    correctly?

    7 Home Premium is only a client AFAIK - if you want to initiate a remote
    session from 7 Home Premium then have a look at TeamViewer.

    Hi,

    Don't confuse Remote Assistance and Remote Desktop as they are two different
    things with very differing purposes. The first is available to all, and
    requires that the recipient (host) ok the connection. The latter does not
    require interaction from the host, and the Home versions do not support
    being a host, only a client.

    So can we assume that Live Mesh will continue to work with Windows 7, thus
    allowing us to access remotely another pc's desktop via Mesh?

    Hi,

    I don't know. The specs for mesh listed here:
    do not mention Win7 and I've
    not heard nor seen anything regarding it. I would assume nothing.

    Thanks. I appreciate the link. I've used mesh with the RC successfully -
    at least accessing the pc running RC1. Haven't tried it the other way.
    Therefore, I have my fingers crossed.

    I have no experience with Live Mesh myself, but for what it's worth, I
    have a copy of the book "Windows 7 Secrets" here, and it says Live
    Mesh is available in Windows 7.
