A better solution to this XP feature which involves user switching would
be to allow two users to use the Graphical user interface. All apple
need to do is modify the window server to be like X-Windows so users can
log in via another computer, and then as many people could use it as
they liked concurrently. Of course that spawns a new market for apple in
which they could promote a really low cost workstation like an x-term
which just has a keyboard, mouse and monitor. It does no processing
locally but the server it's connected to does it all. I've used a system
like this on Solaris and although under huge strain the system doesn't
cope easily it's a great way of getting two people to use a computer at
once. I do agree though users ought to be able to fire up multiple
instances of an application (ie one for each user logged in, not 2
instances for one user).
