    Resubmitted as requested:

    I got this message from one of my technical people.

    Windows XP Service Pack 2 is incompatible with Daemon Tools, which is
    installed on some of the office computers. (I pooched my workstation.)

    The supplementary EULA seems to have two interesting tidbits:

    1. You are prohibited from installing technologies that compete with
    Remote Desktop if you have a Home Edition license. (ie: PCanywhere or VNC.)

    2. You cannot host network services on an XP computer for the
    non-primary user. (ie: No more Apache.)

    This is disturbing.

    Tim
