The remote access system is the default Windoze Server 2003 one - which, of course, will only let you use it with IE.

Myself, I use XP with no probs. As long as you don't mess around with the settings, registry, and don't use IE, then its fine.
I used to mess around with registry and got all sorts of trouble, then had to do a clean install of XP. Bonus of that though, was getting another year out of the anti-virus subscription.
Anyway since this is a desktop topic, here is mine with Richard Armstrong's excellent sunset pic, very soothing I find.

Wow, some nice wallpapers there!
Can i just ask why there has to be a little b**ch fight about Windows XP and a hatred of Microsoft on a Desktop Screen Shot thread!!? :? :roll:
Anyway, heres my current Desktop layout and wallpaper...
Im using 1280*1024 res, with my Dell 17" TFT and correct Drivers (such a crisp image!
)
OS is XP with SP2 and it works fine for me! I dont use IE often (MSN defults to it for opening my Hotmail :x ). Firefox is my defult web browser otherwise. Its bloody brilliant, and for anyone who hasnt got it. I suggest it!!
As for my claggin' 66513 wallpaper - unfortunatly it isnt one of mine :cry: :cry: , though i wish it was!! hehe

Plus - if you install SwiftShader when it comes out (cedega addon) - MSTS will work.
What does the desktop look like? It maybe worth getting as a second OS (duel boot)

Linux can look like anything, it could be like MS-DOS, or exactly like Windows. cedega is just a program *for* it.

(OT) Has anyone sucessfully managed a dual-boot XP/Linux setup? I've heard that for some it works fine, for others it's a nightmare, with XP being a naughty child trying to cling on to prominance.
It works fine on my Desktop at home, yes. Mandrake 10.1 I have been using for over a year (I think) now, it came with a HD partitioner with it, and also the system that lets me select what OS I want to chose at boot-up (LILO) is very customisable and user-friendly
You have to install Windows on the HDD first, then move Linux in after it, that way the Linux boot loader, either Grub or Lilo will overwrite the Windows one in the MBR and give you the choice.
Windows doesn't like to share, but Linux will quite happily
