The MacOS does very well with CMT; NT does very well with PMT. Win95 is, IMO, some kind of bizarre hybrid and has all of the problems that entails. I think the biggest benefit found on most PMT systems is really the memory protection. Overall this makes the system more stable. Rebooting wastes more time than a blocked app in a CMT system. WT
