Actually, Nicholas, the Remote Desktop Connection feature in XP allows those
client operating systems to remotely connect to the XP desktop (IF they have
Windows Messenger installed and Remote Desktop Connection is enabled on the
XP machine!), but the XP machine cannot take control of the other desktops.
Netmeeting is needed if you want to connect say Win2K and Win2K.
