Laurie,

You can create thousands of local user accounts.
This would be an unmanageable situation and you would be advised to look
into a more robust solution based around a Network Operating systems such as
Windows Server 2003.

The main limiting factor on local accounts will be the storage of all those
profiles and "My Documents"

How many were you thinking of creating ?
