Go to Help and Support, and read about Remote Desktop Connection, and,
perhaps, Remote Desktop Web Connection.

No licensing is needed, and any terminal services client will work, although
using the newest downloadable here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/tools/default.mspx

is best.

This facility is quite different from Terminal Services on a server,
however. The incoming connection takes over the console session--thus only
a single session on a machine is possible--either sitting at the console, or
remote, but not both. This presumably is why there is no license cost
involved.

There are third-party solutions for multiple sessions--not inexpensive,
however.
