Which version supports multiple logins?

In Windows XP Professional I could set up the system to allow more than one
person to log onto the machine simultaneously. Which versions of Vista
support this feature? Thanks.

Hi Harry, please advise how this was achieved.

As far as I am aware this was never possible with the official release.

version name I can make up...

Windows Vista supports user swtiching:

Start > click on the arrow right of the lock icon > select "Switch user"

All versions support simultaneous logon through the Fast User Switching
feature. Note that no version, just like no version of XP, supports
simultaneous interactive users. You could do it in XP by hacking the system
but you ended up with an unsupported setup. I am not aware of any way to
hack Vista that will allow it to support multiple simultaneous interactive
users.
