XP would only allow a single RDP connection, there is an old Microsoft beta 
DLL available which enables you to break this restriction, but I would 
imagine that would invalidate your Microsoft EULA.

It also requires XP to be set-up with fast-user switching (not ideal). I did 
toy with the idea of using this, by purchasing individual XP licences, but 
this proved more expensive overall than W2K3 (for 50 users), more fiddly and 
I'm not sure that purchasing full retail licences would sort out the EULA 
questions.

This would only provide you with desktop publishing, if you want application 
publishing then you would need to consider one of the suggested routes from 
my original post:

   * 2x - free for 5 users, not officially supported for XP, but works
   * SeamlessRDP

See my original posting for issues with these solutions and links.
