Microsoft Windows XP (Pro and Home) has Windows Terminals Services 
loaded.  That is how one gets to use Remote Desktop ability.  However, 
it is limited to one user.  If you are logged on to the console and then 
try to Remote Desktop in, it will prompt you to log off the console.

I am working on a program to allow multiple users to log on to Windows XP.

To enable remote desktop cability on Windows XP, right click My 
Computer.  Go to properties.  Select Remote Tab.  Check the box to 
"allow users to connect remotely to this computer".  You may have to add 
your user account as a user part of the Remote users group by clicking 
the "Select Remote Users..." button.

Once this is set, you can rdesktop into Windows XP from LTSP workstation 
or Linux console.
