aero is remote desktop

[fitnessman]

Hi guys, am loving windows 7 truly and have pre-ordered ultimate for october.

currently i am using my 64-bit machine as a server on the main TV and am using my dell mini 9 (xp home) as a remote screen and keyboard for when the missus is watching TV, it works great and am using the tscon.exe RDP-Tcp#0 /dest:console code to end the session and keep the user logged in afterwards, it all works great, however i cannot get the aero effects on my dell mini 9, as far as i am aware from searching it should just mirror the host pc irrespective of the clients hardware but i also read that DWM shuts down when RDC is used.

is there a workaround to stop DWM sclosing or a reg hack to keep aero activated on my home network connection that anybody knows of as i feel that without aero i am missing some of the 7 experiance or will the release of RDC 7.0 for xp will this issue be resolved?

in responce to my own question, it cant be done, even with the upcoming RDP 7.0 in q9 of this year for xp. the only solution is windows 7 on the dell mini which i now have done and all works fantasitically well
