We each behave according to our nature. It should come as no surprise, then, to learn that while a virtualization supplier believes that the operating system is, effectively, a feature, an operating system vendor would argue that the converse is true. The philosophical differences between Red Hat and VMware could not have been more apparent during their respective events - Septemberâs VMworld gathering in Las Vegas and yesterdayâs Red Hat analyst day held at the New York Stock Exchange.

I'm not sure how you can justify your statement. Windows has supported multiple users logging in at the same time since NT 4 with Terminal Services. Before Terminal Services, you could have multiple remote users at a time, but the graphical system was tied to the single console user so your statement would have been accurate for those versions of NT.
But TS is more than a decade and a half old by now and it's been in consumer OSes since the advent of XP.

NT is not multi-user in the true sense of the word... it is single user with profiles etc...
Vista is supposed to be the first true multi-user Windows OS, but I haven't used it or looked into it deeply enough to really talk about that.
