No, XP is a hog on a linux network. There's some hacks you can do to the 
registry, but it's still not as fast and clean as using, for instance, 
Win2kPro on the same network.

The references to licences is that we couldn't find any Win2kPro licences, 
and were told that they were taken off the shelf by M$ a few months back.
