Multiple concurrent users

Does anyone know if any of the versions of Windows Vista support multiple concurrent users? For example, I would like to be able to "rdp" from my laptop to our home system and read my email, etc. at the same time my daughter is working on a term paper. XP does not allow this, althougth I think I heard once they were originally going to support it. It would nice to have this capability and bring Vista up speed with the various versions of Unix that have supported this capability for years. -- AJayH.

At this point I don't notice it being much different from XP. If you login remotely using RDP then the console will be locked. However it does warn you before you lock out the other user which is nice. For true terminal services (i.e. multiple RDP/console sessions) you'll likely have to use Longhorn. I'm not definite about this but it's what I've noticed so far.
