But does this not just mean that you can't connect to a Machine running Win XP and Office, then open word and use it, as you'd be running it from an unlicensed PC. If you were to have office licensed on your PC, then connect to a remote PC and use word it would be fine?
Has anyone got the XP license at hand?

Yes ! I'm not sure about the other versions, but the licence for XP is quite explicit that use of 'remote control' packages other than NetMeeting is NOT allowed. This isn't a case of not saying that others are allowed, it explicitely states that they may not be used. This isn't the end though. Many people (myself included) are confident that this clause would be declared illegal under European and (in my case) UK laws if Microsoft attempted to enforce it - but I don't think anyone wants to be the subject of a test case ! In fact there are still big question marks over the whole validity of 'shrink wrap licences'.
