XP has Terminal Services too. The difference is you can't use the computer itself if you are connected remotely, and only one computer can conect remotely at one time. 2000 Server and Server 2003 both have Terminal Services that are not limited in this way.

And you only need to have an account on the computer if you are trying to connect using Remote Desktop. If you are using ICS, there is no need to have one.
