Can this be true? NTuser.DAT corresponds to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER
branch of the registry tree. If you log out, that part is unloaded. If
another user logs in, his NTuser.DAT is loaded. Of course, whatever
you have changed in the registry outside your HKEY_CURRENT_USER will
remain.

They're introducing "Active Directory", adding an X.500-like
hierarchy, which in turn should allow setups not entirely unlike
multiple domains on one server.
