It's clear that you are only a vendor with a certification of a vendor not technical or whatever.
XP has a multiuser login and not a multiuser task...
You never use a *nix system... so use it first ("...have been working with both for over a decade..." - I don't think so!), then think in what you wrote here.
Try to logon and start your favorite flavor of window manager and after remotely logon in that same machine with other user and start another flavor of your window manager... you will run two or more window managers (depends on hardware).
Or try it in the same console, you will be surprise too.
XP, NT, 2000, ME, 98, 98SE, 95, 95 OSR2, 3.11 wk, 3.1 doesn't do this even with VNC, RemoteAccess, etc...
Only the Windows TerminalServer can do this kind of thing...
The Windows is excelent for those office and domestic users but for time to time windows needs to be reinstalled for performance reasons.
Not to mention the hardware update that needs to be done after every Windows version update.
