XP Service Pack 2 to Limit concurrent TCP/IP connections

Posted by geeknews at 12:48 AM on July 27, 2004

I know quite a few people that use Windows XP Professional to run FTP, WEB and Mail servers at home and at work. I have never done so and it probably violates some Microsoft license policy. But with XP SP2 those using XP Professional may be out of luck by changes Microsoft is making to the OS by limiting concurrent TCP/IP connections. I wonder if the sales of Windows 2000/2003 server go up after the release. [Lockergnome] [Bink.nu]
