Apparently, you've swallowed the Microsoft FUD hook, line, and sinker.

Repeat after me:
Multitasking means the ability for a computer to have two tasks executing
simultaneously (in the user's time frame--not in the computer's time
frame). There are two flavors: cooperative and preemptive. Both are
multitasking.

If you'd like to argue that preemptive multitasking is superior in some
way and have facts to support it, feel free. But your statement that MacOS
or Win3.1 don't multitask is just plain wrong.
