Angelo,

Any multi-user version of VNC for Windows would necessarily be hooked into
Terminal Services, since multi-user operation requires full support within
the OS.

AFAIK, Citrix licensed the full source code for Windows NT in order to
produce a multi-user version, and the resulting code was the basis for what
is now Terminal Services.

Regards,

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.
