It was always the case with Windows because Win32 is not a true 
multi-user operating system.  And it must be due to some limitation in 
OS X's graphical environment as well - I have not tried OS X as a VNC 
server.  With X Windows, the desktop environment is "served" to the 
desktop and connecting clients via TCP port - X Windows is an actual 
server.  OS X is probably different and the graphical interface can 
only support one user at a time.  We support a company who uses a Sun 
Enterprise 4500, running SPARC linux, that is used to serve virtual 
desktops to network clients, and we are using VNC there, and every 
client gets their own secure desktop.  But that's X Windows.
