Alan, thanks for watching the legalities. The client is aware that each
RDP client will require a valid XP license, in addition to the license
for the actual XP installed inside VMWare.

It's not the ridiculous winDoh!s licensing they are trying to avoid
(they already paid for them, then set them aside when they made the leap
to Linux). They are trying to avoid the nearly-impossible chore of
maintaining and defending a fleet of XP boxes for the _one_ win32 app
they can't replace yet.
