multi-processing = symmetric multi-processing.
There are a few multi-process boxes out there on which
NT has been demoed (4 processor i think)

It supports the concept of ownership on resources. i.e. you can own
a file, and with the proper security setup, no one else can acces it)

However, right now you cannot log into to a remote machine like you can
on unix systems.  NT was designed with a client-server archetecture in 
mind, which a lot of people consider a better solution than the remote
login related methods.
