Well, there is enough GUI for task manager / notepad / cmd / etc to run, and
for example IBM ServeRAID Manager GUI runs just fine on a core install too.
So there is no reason why some other tool couldn't tool.

PS. XP is "only" 6 years old, not 9. And you have to realize many will skip
Vista, that is a fact.

I personally have Vista and Hyper-V Server 2008 at home and SCVMM at work,
so I don't have this problem. But still I can see why many would like to be
able to control it without Vista or full install of 2008, and it is an
interesting topic to discuss (that's why I joined this discussion).
