I already tried it, apply ASAP for the Family Beta. Now both of my kids can simultaneously use my library as long as they play a different game. Before, only one of my kids was allowed to borrow from my library, the rest of it was locked down. Amazing update.

There was a pretty big work around for that, as long as only one person is in "online" mode on Steam, you can technically have infinite people playing at once. Of course that only works if most people want to play a single player or local LAN game.
