Ouch, yes, I've heard that.

Question: Does it matter where the applications are running? 
Specifically, can two remote windows coming from different clients (to 
use the odd X sense of the term) on different machines, see each other's 
activities on the same physical server (to again use the odd backwards 
sense)?

Thanks,
