This much I know.
The problem now is that Perforce only has one location in the registry. You would have to somehow tell each service to look somewhere else for all the variables, P4ROOT, P4PORT, etc . . .
Example, you install the first service with the installer, it makes modifications to:
HKLM\Software\Perforce\Environment
Any copy of this service would also look at the same key, thereby confusing each service on the system.
What I would like to see is something like:
HKLM\Software\Perforce\Service1\Environment HKLM\Software\Perforce\Service2\Environment etc . . .

Unfortunately, no that wouldn't work. The idea of the service is that it can be run all the time without a user being logged in. To change the different settings, I would assume each user would have to be logged in to change the settings to that particular one, if I'm understanding

Nope...in the Control Panel, Services applet, if you select a service, then hit the 'Startup...' button, you get a dialog with a group of fields labeled "Log On As:". You can run the service either as the "System Account" (the normal default) or as a speicific user. If you create separate users (with appropriate privileges and access to their perforce depots), then you can enter the username/password THERE. Then the service process runs in the context of the specified user.
I've used that capability for running other services, but not Perforce, so I don't know if Perforce's NT software has any hidden (or otherwise) assumptions that it's the only p4 server on a system.
