- MS Windows 3.1 is, according to Microsoft, a multitasking operating
- environment. Yet some say it does not provide *true* multitasking.
- Who's right?
-
- If it's multitasking, is it preemptive or non-preemptive?
-
- Are DOS and Windows applications processed in a diferent way? How?
-
- What are the main differences between Win 3.x and the forthcoming Win NT?
-
- I'd be grateful to anyone who answered my questions even if partially.
