True multiuser support?

[Javier Agustìn Fernàndez Arroyo]

Hello, devs!
ok, lets stop flaming and lets do anything useful 3:>

For the future:
will ReactOS support "true" multiuser sessions (that is, *simultaneously*)?
Is it possible?
that would be a big enhancement over Windows :)

Doesn't Windows XP already support it?

[Zachary Gorden]

It is capable of it.  It is however set up to prevent multiple people from
logging on and "using" the system at the same time.  The quick switch
feature makes use of that capability but in a way to prevent concurrent
usage.

This is one area I'd like to see us break tradition with XP.
The concept of session 0 for system and first user logon has always niggled at me.

It would be nice to have a proper session manager (lsm) as per NT6 and reserve session 0 for system.

I realise this could cause incompatibilities as some applications make certain assumptions about users running in session 0 for NT5, but I'm sure a solution can be put built.

We've also had what, four or five years for people to fix that assumption.
Though granted it's taken the project I work for almost that long to
implement a final fix.

We need to first fix up the logon screen. I have tried this, except the  
problem lies with CreateDesktop() not wanting to create more than one  
desktop within the Winlogon process.

At this stage, the logon/logoff functionality does not work at all, and  
some processes still linger about.

It appears explorer shell is one of them.
