Maximum number of user accounts that can be created in Windows 7

What is the maximum number of user accounts that can be created in Windows 7 - in Home Premium and in Professional?

Thanks,
Eliezer

The only limit might be your hard drive space as each profile will want a certain amount of storage room?

There might be some third party type of limitations such as if they all want their own E-mail Account with your ISP.

This is an XP similar question and answer.

How many accounts do you want to create, and is it just a standalone machine? Maybe you have a large family in which case everybody would be limited by time and access to a single machine anyway?

Linney, my family isn't that large I plan on having a total of 7 accounts - I was just wondering if there was limit of 5 or something...

Thanks!

7 should be fine and not a problem, mind you the more you have the more there is to go wrong.

And make them standard users if possible instead of administrative users.
