Well you have to think there is a reason that this has not been "done" yet. Think of all the highly skilled R&D departments that are banging away at their respective tablet OS's. Sure it sounds great on paper but a tablet is NOT a pc. I would guesstimate that even an ancient PC nowadays has at least a 160GB hard drive on it. With 64GB as a ceiling, once you start taking about 100's of emails x4, 100's of photos x4, dozens of videos x4, dozens of apps x4, 100's of songs times x4, you are seriously running out of room.
Then you have the additional security of now partitioning or sandboxing the user data profiles from each other and ensuring that no one can crack open terminal and start digging into other profiles. Then there's the licensing and DRM concerns for content on the device. If I download a game from my profile\purchase in-game content, and my daughter buys the same game on her profile with different in-game content, is it downloaded twice? (impacting storage) Or is it downloaded once, but has to be in a common space accessible by two profiles yet sandboxed from the accounts themselves (less secure)
Then you could say only one profile per device, but if you've ever doctored your phone, you know pulling all that data from the cloud takes a decent amount of time and is a significant draw on the bandwidth and power\cpu consumption.
This is an intriguing idea but it just does not seem feasible.
