Tha Amiga and MAC have multitasking OSs even though without VM or protection.
PCs have the desqview (ammong others) system for multitasking DOS
and virual memory (but segmented).
AIX provides full unix and DOS compatibility windows.

Apple just released the buggy TOS 1.4 ...
I am certain there are very good chances
 that in less that 8 years from now, TOS will become multitasking. 8-)
