Two years ago when MS announced the MIRA project (use of wireless smart
screens) they announced that SP2 would enable two concurrent users on XP Pro
so that one user could be sitting at a computer while a second user was
logged in via the wireless smart screen. This would have been the first
time two concurrent users could be logged into their own environments using
XP Pro simultaneously. MS did not follow through with this project in its
original form and SP2 does not include the promised capability for two users
to simultaneously use the same machine.
