Single User Examples

Response from ALEGSA.com.ar:

A single-user operating system is an operating system that can only be occupied by a single user at a given time. Examples of single-user systems are home versions of Windows.

In the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems, the home and client versions of Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista provide support for personalized environments per user, but do not support multiple users using the system desktop concurrently (and are therefore , single-user operating systems); server versions of Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 (among others) provide remote desktop service to multiple users concurrently through Terminal Services.
