We may have to dig up and quote the license then, because I can almost
guarantee you that Microsoft does not allow running, say, a web server
on XP Pro.
Perforce would fall under the same restrictions.

Actually, I don't believe that is true. Even though the workstation
producg no longer has the hard socket limitations that it used to
have, by the license agreement, no more than, I believe, 10 clients
can connect to the workstation. This definitely is not restricted to
'shares.' Using an XP Pro workstation as a Perforce server (or, say,
a Web server) violates the workstation license agreement.
No it doesn't.
The limit on 10 clients only applies to "Microsoft" clients. There is
no _Microsoft_ limit on the number of clients a third party application
(such as Perforce - or, say, Apache) can support..
