I havent found any other solution than Ardence for WinXP/Vista/W2k, but for Linux and Win98 i've found even too many.

On a side note - every linux is really easy to boot off from network. Create custom pxelinux-loader, and tell from which NFS address it can find it's root disk and you are on your way. Every decent distro has tools for this (RedHat, SuSe, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware and so on..)
You can even use GRUB or Lilo to boot off from network (do multiboot setup, 1 for XP and 1 for network boot -> choose at bootup) and so on.

Ardence's unique contribution to this issue is the disk driver for XP that it can use network drive as virtual disk. That would be all i need for diskless XP that i want to build, but no other vendors seem to offer it now.
And Ardences representative in my country is... piss poor. They wont even send the prices
