from one of the mailing lists:

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.
