 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....
