Are there any major versions of windows you can do this on?

I know on our Windows Server 2003 server with Terminal Services enabled we can connect multiple users, but on XP pro (version I'm most familiar with) you can't have one user logged on locally and another remote desktop user--it's one or the other? When the Remote Desktop user connects, the local screen blanks, and if you're logging on as a new user, the current session gets logged off first.

If there's a way to get around this, I'd love to hear it!

Sure - use Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) and log into a different account
than the one the user is logged into.

And of course windows is multi-user - where did you get the idea it wasn't?

In Unix, I can access the box remotely in a separate screen so that the local user can't see what I'm doing and can continue to use the system. Is there a way to do this in Windows? (I don't think there is, since Windows
isn't really multi-user, but I figured I'd ask.)
