You sure can if you want to install the full Terminal Services
application server on your box. Go to Control Panel | Add Remove
Programs | Windows Components and select Terminal Services.

You'll have to bring up a Terminal Services Licensing Server soon
after, and shortly after that, you'll have to get some real licenses
on there. You can run from 4-6 months before actually buying the
licenses, but only go that route if you're testing something.
