Doesn't this violate most Windows Licenses? Windows simultaneous multiuser support on all NT-based OSes but it was normally disabled by policy unless you paid for the Server license. This is why Windows RDP normally locks the local desktop when you connect remotely rather than spawning a parallel session. I remember there were some US-based startups doing this but they ran into legal issues once they got past a certain point.

This company appears to be Russian so they can ignore the legal issues, but it would be bad to use this in a situation where MS might want to enforce their license.

I have no idea. General consensus from what I read is it's Russian, and very hacky, but works great. Even on Windows Home, no need Pro, or virtualization route where you have to split core/resources. They seem to primarily sell to developing countries, especially computer labs where I presume Microsoft don't care, or fine with people pirating if it means using Windows.
