So my Dell laptop shipped with an OS 'restore' disk for Win 7 Home Premium (64).
I got curious, slapped the disk into the 3 year old PC and darned if it didn't install and run.
To backtrack a bit, I've gone from NT 4 to 2k Pro to XP Pro, but now I have a 'homeowners" version and I'm not use to features alluded to that I don't have. Like remote access and synch.
Now I'm working from the PC and a laptop, and on occasion a NetBook. And I'm not always home. Remote access and synch have become things I need.
Yes, I know. Welcome to the New Age. It had to happen eventually, I guess (I still don't want more than a cell phone).
Thats a long way to get to the question: In Win 7 is Remote Access secure enough, and does Synch work well enough, to justify the cost of 7 Ultimate (~ $100 because I'm a Student and Wife is past U. Staff) or should I be looking for a different solution to these two functions.
I know it's lazy of me to be asking in stead of doing my own research, but damn, it all starts looking Greek after a while.
