Neither Windows nor Mac OS X are able to fully operate multiple user sessions simultaneously using a single computer.

For Mac OS X it requires the main machine running 10.7 Lion and each user you want to operate on it requires another Mac to access the session remotely. This (new) function is called “multi-user screen sharing” or “virtual display”.

On Windows it is called Remote Desktop Services (former Terminal Services). It requires a full server installation and licencing and each user who wants to access a session requires at least a Thin-Client that is RDP capable.
