[...] UNIX was designed from the beginning to be a multi-user system. That was entire reason in creating it, actually. The concept of "multi-seat" as a feature is being able to login and allow multiple users to use the same hardware independently. A lot of people would argue that Linux already does this, and you don't need a framework for it. I know this and they know it. It's true. The Linux multi-seat software provides a framework for the easy setup of hotplug devices, X11 logins, permissions, and other things that need to be done to easily provide access to more than one user.

To me, "multi-seat" is a marketing term, because beyond the requirement that there are mulitple seats involved (which makes sense if multiple users are involved who are in a seated posture), it does not specify much.
