Violators All?


In "The Cheapskate's Guide to IT Tools" (Dec. 9, 2003), you said using VNC on Microsoft servers is a violation of its EULA (End User License Agreement). Why? I'm sure I'm not alone in using VNC on Microsoft servers.

Lori MacVittie replies: A Microsoft EULA addendum states any tool used to remotely control a WinXP machine that is not from Microsoft or commercially available is in violation of the license agreement.
