It's actually very different. LTSP is more akin to remote desktop like terminal services from MS, sunray from Sun, etc. where you need a dumb terminal/thin client PC to access the LTSP server. To the original poster, No, Have not tried this. A similar technology product for windows, Thinsoft's Betwin is what I'm familiar with. But the high level base required technology is the same, just different OS is used. The Canadian company userful has a technology where you have literally have only 1 PC and lots of video cards/USB devices dangling on the back, and the 1st video card/usb keyboard & mouse is for the 1st user. Another video card/usb keyboard & mouse for the 2nd user and so on and so forth. This gives different users different desktop to use and work. This advantage translates to potential lower costs overall by not having a thin/fat client PC. You only need an additional video card(better if it's dual.) and usb mouse/keyboard.
