RE: Microsoft plans tighter security measures in Windows XP SP2

 Maybe in SP2 they can revise their EULA to be a little more user friendly
(Fat Chance!)

My Windows XP Professional EULA (which I never assented to because it was
installed on machine when I got it and only my cat ever hit the OK button.
Sue him). It seems to indicate there is no problem with VNC as long as only
one user at a time is accessing the machine remotely. For a workstation that
is a reasonable restriction.

2. DESCRIPTION OF OTHER RIGHTS AND
LIMITATIONS.
