I believe server 2008 allows this as well.
That would be your 3 terminals right there
If I were you, if you plan of doing any serious crunching with any given terminals at once, I would use a quad core CPU.
Oh and linux has this by default as well, but it is much more versatile. You can run an application for remote SSH on windows to the linux box, such as xming, then log into the machine via puTTY and run any given app, or even a full desktop session on the remote machine. Observe:
All I have to do is click a shortcut and type in a password:
And there ya go. A windowed session of X (X is the backend for everything graphical) where I run the window manager of my choosing. In this case fluxbox:
The OS is freeBSD (it's free on the web, just like linux) and you can configure it to behave however you like.
In this case you could log into this machine like so from probably 7 different machines at once. I'm running firefox from freeBSD over wireless to the vista laptop. Everything for my firefox profile is on freeBSD. Any program you run in this fashion is on the remote machine, just like remote desktop.
edit: Here's another shot from a while back. This time on my desktop. Same freeBSD box.

I figured if I showed you unix, I should show you RDP with server series windows OSes as well.
Here is 3 RDP sessions to one 2003 install. This is my fileserver and domain controller. XP doesn't allow multiple connections, but server OSes do.
