As Adam pointed out, it's against your product licence agreement to run
programs which "project the XP desktop" elsewhere (It's not specifically
a number of users thing, it's a look and feel thing). And, given you're
allowing MS to check the software on your system with SP1, they might
decide to nuke VNC / your data / your XP for licencing violation.

Funnily enough, projecting your desktop with the Microsoft solution is
perfectly okay with the licence...

Cheers,

Alex.
