let's read the above paragraph together: Does it say NT is multiuser ? No.
Does it say NT supports full X capability ? Yes.

Here is the deal. Get the X11R6 distribution for NT from 
ftp:/microlib.cc.utexas.edu. Then get the ataman software's telnetd deamon from
cica. Install telnet and X on a machine. Run telnet service. Then go to another
NT 3.5 machine with builtin telnet. Start it up and connect to the server.
Also run xwin x window server again from cica (xwindemo.exe).
Go to the X\bin and type "xclock -display myntmachinewithoutx:0.0" and see
the clock on your machine which doesn't have the X binaries at all. Now is this
what X gives you ? Yes. QED bozo.

you can only speak for yourself, who assigned you as the speaker of the 
internet community?
