I think MS just did us (and themselves) a disservice.

What you fail to recognize is that even 3.51 (don't know about 3.1) can
have multiple user contexts being active at the same time. (For example
a service running under its own user account) The limit mentioned in the
article is per user, not per workstation. The author of the article got
that wrong, probably because at that time Windows NT would allow only
one interactive GUI session.

I don't know your definition of multi-user, but what do you call
Terminal Server then?

Exactly.  It's typical blinders-on, "microsoft is evil" mentality.
Certainly disappointing, but not surprising.

Exactly.  It's typical blinders-on, single-user system mentality.
Certainly disappointing, but not surprising.
