[Technical] Novell and WinXP Home

[Grant Frazer]

Hi All,

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.

Any comments and thoughts on this one would be great.
