As code_duck says, on MS Windows VNC just lets you see the existing single-user desktop. It's a different beast to the unix VNC.
On X Windows (X11) VNC runs 'more natively' creating a new desktop for you when you remote in - each new connection creates a new desktop instance for the user logging in. It's actually more configuration work to make it view an pre-existing desktop session :)
