   Technically it is sessions. And it has nothing to do with TCP/IP.   
      
   This is to prevent the Home and Professional edition Windows from being used    
   as Servers.   
      
   I don't blame them. If they supported more concurrent sessions, that would    
   mean they would have to test that limit. Then fix whatever bugs that show up.    
   And then more testing. All for a Home edition. . .   
      
   That's less time for features that the rest of us use. BTW, that limit was    
   removed in Vista SP2.   
      
      
   s Windows XP only allows 10 inbound TCP/IP connections at any one time ?   
      
   No, it definitely allows many more than that. Else how could people do things    
   like run torrents?   
      
   ... Everything I do is needlessly violent.
