Windows and MacOS are designed as single user systems.
Unix and Linux are designed as multiuser systems.
Configuring a Windows system for multiple
concurrent users is quite painful. Configuring
unix for a single user seems unnecessarily difficult.
Interestly, when we did the B1/LSPP versions of
unix the home directory model helped reduce the
problem of user sensitivity restrictions by
isolating the part of the directory hierarchy
that had to be customized for the user.
