LOL! To be honest, the only multitasking that existed in MS Windows in the
pre-95 days were pre-emptive multi-tasking, where each application was
expected to periodically call functions such as "GetMessage" and "Yield"
that would allow another application to get a chance to be scheduled. If an
application did not call such functions for a long time, all other
applications would be shut out. Not exactly the most stable platform!
