I don't want to generalize that everything that MS does is good, but in the
last releases they identified a number valid problems that users have, and
solved them very well IMHO. Fast user switching is one of them, Remote
Assistance another one.

If you happen to have a Windows computer with a fast connection near you,
watch the "Developing for a Windows XP Multi-User PC" presentation here:

It explains how MS implemented the feature and what you need to take care for
then developing (Window) apps in a multi-user envorinment.
