UserA, UserB and UserC all using account1
UserA logs on at 9AM, sets default printer to their local printer
UserB logs on at 9:01AM, sets their default printer to a network printer
UserC logs on at 9:02AM, sets default printer to ther local printer
UserA saves a document to their desktop, and bookmarks an important website in IE, then logs off at 9:15AM
UserB logs off at 9:16AM, which deletes the file UserA saved as well as the IE bookmark (because the account1's profile was saved again
UserC logs off at 9:17AM
UserB logs back on at 9:18AM, and their default printer is not longer set to the network printer they previously specified
The only changes that are ever saved are by the last concurrent users that logs off. If you decide to do this be prepared for phone calls from confused and upset users

I guess I don't understand, if the users are logging into
the same machine with the same user account, why would
this cause troubles with users printer & desktop settings

Yes, by disabling the limit users to one concurrent
logon via the Terminal Services Configuration (2003).
This is not necessary in 2000, as this option doesn't
exist. I would not recommend doing this though, as it
causes troubles with users printer & desktop settings
constantly changing due to multiple concurrent users
loading & unloading the same user profile. I get a lot
of questions about how to solve problems caused by
multiple users logging on with the same account
