I'm not a win32 expert (just a GNU guy lurking on this list ;-)),
but my approach would be simply putting the windows workloads into
VMs and giving each user its own VM.

This probably would require more iron, but - assuming we're talking
about an professional/production environment - this should be more
cost-efficient than spending too much manpower into some solution
w/ less iron.

BTW: my current customer (1+1) provides shared win32 hosting as 
well as win32 VMs. Maybe you could have a look at it.
