<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi All,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have just had a query from a colleague about Novell
and desktop computer licensing. At present they have Windows XP Home
installed with the Novell Netware logon client on top so that they can
authenticate to their Novell Servers. The question being posed here is
legally should they be running Windows XP Professional as their desktop client
with the Novell Netware logon? This question is based on the fact that Microsoft
labels XP Professional as the corporate network version of Windows which is
required to log on to your corporate network and the fact that if you were
running a Microsoft Domain/Server you must have XP Pro to
authenticate.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any comments and thoughts on this one would be
great.</FONT> </P><BR>
