Win XP is a multi-user multi-task environment. But it's NOT a
multi-session one. If you need to open several sessions (in the sense
of remote desktop/terminal services), you'll need Windows Server
version (ie Win 2000 server is it's still available on sale :p,
Windows Server 2003 or the newest Windows Server 2008).

Nope, not true. VNC only helps you see the screen remotely. If
you've only got a screen, nothing's gonna help you.
I'm not going to answer the questions/problems below....
