Again- hate to dig into "discussions" like this but this is factually
incorrect. NT and all successors ( 2K, XP,Vista ) have always been multi
user systems. DOS, 95, 98, ME and so on however are indeed single user
hence more-or-less impossible to make secure and stable.

The difference is that linux is multi-user-at-the-same-time, whilst windows
NT and up are only multi-user accounts but only one at a time.

If this is incorrect, I'd be intregued to know how more than one user can
use a windows box simultaneously.
