[LINK] RFI: Multi-User Capability on User Machines

[Roger Clarke]

I'm trying to phrase a short statement about when multi-user 
capability became available on PCs.

The draft says:

"Devices running Unix and its variant Linux have supported multiple 
users since long before the Internet became available.  Devices 
running Mac OSX (which is a version of Unix) have done so since early 
2001.  Devices running the dominant MS Windows system have done so 
only since XXXX.".

Can anyone nail for me the date and version of Windows that delivered 
the feature on end-user machines?

Thanks!


Further Notes:

Microsoft Windows 2000 was released February 2000
WINDOWS XP officially launched on October 25th. 2001
