If you are handy with Windows NT/2K/XP you can have different profiles per log
in account. You can also have "roving profiles" that follow users in a network.
There are some security issues that may or may not conflict with WL. I suggest
reading one of the Windows Companion manuals and experiment long before a
contest for problems.
As a IT manager in the "real world", only requiring a single license for a
multiop is VERY generous of Wayne.
