IE specific: If you open a new window of IE from the old one (hyperlink, FILE > NEW > WINDOW) then it shares session cookies
If you open a new IE session by command from the OS (Start menu, desktop shortcut) it doesn't share them. Q.: can you launch a new window by putting in a hyperling to (eg) 'IEXPLORE http://yoursite/yourpage'? Nasty!

Some people have had success turning cookies off and using URL rewriting to maintain session state separately for each window.
