Can two people use the same Windows 7 PC simultaneously, one using Remote Desktop and the other sitting in front of it?

I have a computer running Windows 7 Ultimate. I'd like to set up a configuration, in which I and my flatmate could use this PC simultaneously. So while I'm sitting in front of it and working, he could log in from his computer (running linux) using Remote Desktop and work on the PC at the same time. As I know, I can't normally do this using Windows 7 Ultimate, so I wonder if you have any ideas how (with which programs or OS I could do this). I don't want to buy a separate server if I don't need to.

Windows 7 will not support multiple interactive sessions. You would need a machine that has a full Terminal Server implementation, e.g. a server. There are probably hacks out there that let you get around this restriction. Use them at your own risk.
