Use WinXP as an RPC server?

We use a WinXP platrorm for operating instrumentation and
want to use RPC to control the system remotely.
I wrote a "hello world" test proving that WinXP can work as an RPC server.
But MS docs say that RPC is only supported on Windows Server 2000 or 2003.
Can I get away with using WinXP as an RPC server?
 
XP Pro can be controlled remotely by using the Remote Desktop application
from another XP/XP Pro PC. WIN 98/ME can also do Remote Desktop into an XP
Pro machine if you download the application from Microsoft for Win98/ME
platform (I can't remember the name of the download off the to of my head).
Remote desktop uses RPC to do Remote Desktop but I'm not sure that it will
act as an RPC Server as it doesn't have the Server applications to do it.
