Microsoft's XP license agreement says, "Except as otherwise permitted by the NetMeeting, Remote Assistance, and Remote Desktop features described below, you may not use the Product to permit any Device to use, access, display, or run other executable software residing on the Workstation Computer, nor may you permit any Device to use, access, display, or run the Product or Product's user interface, unless the Device has a separate license for the Product." I guess this improves security....
On the plus side - it gives you a whole new level of terrifying tools to use against those who build a botnet on your network. Get MS licencing after them for all those XP licences :)
