Couldn't you do this in Vista as well? I thought the ability to use fast-user

Windows 7 has the best of both worlds, IMO.

As an admin, you can gain access to a computer that is locked by logging in as 
a different user.  You can do this without logging the other person off, and 
without violating their session.

As Ken mentions, this maintains non-repudiation.

 I wish Windows had that option.
