Just spotted this on slashdot. It appears that the windows XP licence effectively forbins you from using VNC. This may be an issue which directly affects some of you! http://www.infoworld.com/articles/op/xml/02/03/18/020318oplivingston.xml
From the linked article:
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..." Damn, looks as though it's in violation of the licence agreement to be vulnerable to viruses! Michael
