A little known new feature of Windows Server 2008 is Parallel Session Creation. The word parallel in "parallel session creation" is key here. This is because in Windows 2003 (and earlier) sessions (~logons) were created one after another. A next logon could only be processed after the one prior to that was finished.
You can imagine what this does to Terminal Server logon times at peak hours. So, Windows Server 2008 introduces parallel session creation which allows for parallel logons. it's limited to four simultaneous logons for four cores but at least it's a start. If you want to know more, Dan Shappir has a nice blog entry about Windows Server 2008 Parallel Session Creation.
