I don't know if I would use the term "dominate", as if that were the case
they would want to put it in all versions of XP, not just Pro - and release
a compatible version for other Win-OS's. Right now you must be accessing a
Pro or Server2003 system to use this feature, though you can download a file
that will allow you to access the machine from any version of Win. But it
doesn't work in reverse.

I have never tried ReachOut, have you used it and what do you think of it?
Am curious.
