You're right.
It actually does show which users are logged in by the way of a small triangle 
to the left.
I must have missed this.

This raises the question, perhaps the triangle is not obvious and it is not 
apparent what it means?
Perhaps it is not so intuitive.

Windows more clearly indicates that a user is logged in by displaying the text 
"Logged on".
