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.
