There are also ways to setup Windows Pro/Enterprise/Ultimate PCs to allow multiple simultaneous remote users to use different programs on multiple desktops, but you would need to do some wonky VM stuff to get it working locally I assume.
As much as installing TS on my Server 2008R2 VM would be interesting (and completely simple to accomplish) , the main issue is still having input from one keyboard/mouse going to the RDP session while mine are still focused on my tasks.

That's kind of what I do now, physically switching cables on my 2nd monitor, but the second PC is really outdated and dying and I would much rather put money into upgrading my PC than replacing it.

I am really sure I have heard of a product that does what I want for Windows, but for the life of me I cannot remember what it is called.
edit: I think it might be a MS product, I recall seeing a video talking about a single PC in a classroom being used with multiple sets of monitors/keyboard/mouse all connected through USB.
