How, when Mac OS X logs out, it quits all the apps. Couldn't they just
not do that? It seems the underlying Unix/BSD system wouldn't care that
the other apps are running right? So really it is just a matter of
adding a couple buttons to the "Are you sure you want to log out?"
dialog. Instead the dialog could say: "Would you like to keep the
running apps active?" with "Yes", "No" or "Cancel". This would provide
the same safety net mechanism of the current dialog and would allow for
the speed of logout because it wouldn't have to waste any time quitting
applications.

No, NeXTSTEP never had any kind of hot-swap-users feature like that.
Of course, it would be much easier for Apple to implement this on Mac
OS X than it was for MicroSquish to do it on XP, I'll bet.
We would like to think so anyway... ;)
In reality the important thing is that they _have_ this wonderful
feature - and we don't.
If you really want it, then write it. It's not much more work than
implementing a virtual-desktop hack.
