> XP's license forbids the use of VNC!

I read the entire EULA to get the license quote in context.

Hmmmm. Now my understanding of what Microsoft is saying may be flawed. But
it looks to me like the average person could easily interpret the agreement
such that it forbids a heck of a lot more than just VNC.

Reading literally, allowing any non-MS client software running on a non-XP
machine to connect to the corresponding server(s) running on your XP box is
forbidden.

The plot gets better and better. Wheee!
