??? Why ever not? I'm aware of at least one company with several thousand
Windows boxes that I believe does exactly this.

Now mind you: OpenSSH and Cygwin are not exactly using the same concept of a
"user" as DOS or NT. (Remember Win3.xx and Win9.x and WinME are all graphic
window systems sitting on top of a DOS kernel, NT is a graphical interface
sitting on top of David Cutler's kernel stolen from DEC and is basically an
upgraded VMS.)

What exactly is the difficulty you refer to?
