Interoperability with Remote Assistance in Windows Vista

Remote Assistance in Windows 7 is fully backward-compatible with Remote Assistance in Windows Vista, except that Windows Vista does not support the new Easy Connect method for soliciting Remote Assistance found in Windows 7. This means that a User on a Windows Vista computer cannot use Easy Connect to solicit Remote Assistance from a Helper on a Windows 7 computer, and a User on a Windows 7 computer cannot use Easy Connect to solicit Remote Assistance from a Helper on a Windows Vista computer. In addition, a Windows 7 user cannot transfer a file with a Windows Vista user during a Remote Assistance session.
