Simultaneously?
When I talk about a multi-user OS, the OS is designed to be used by multiple

the different users when they all try to work on the same machine at the same 
time.

Other parts of the non-server editions have not been tested with this patch.
Never mind that you are basically violating the EULA when using that patch.
