Windows Vista and 7 Home editions can connect to Essentials network via the connect computer wizard and benefit from some of the Essentials feature like client backup, health monitoring etc. But Home Edition will not support domain-join and will not support Remote Web Workplace (RWW, which is now called RWA).
