The Admin Center is more of a server app than desktop app; it is not
intended that every TSM administrator run their own instance of ISC/Admin
Center. XP may be fine as a desktop machine, but for running server
applications, most XP systems probably do not have adequate resources (and
XP itself isn't really designed to act as a server). XP workstations can
access the TSM Admin Center via web browser, so I'm not sure I understand
why this by itself would be a show-stopper. (For what it is worth, the
Admin Center is supported on the same Windows OSes as the TSM server.)
