Yes, Windows has multitasked, even version 2.x (don't know about version
1, I didn't run it).  It employed cooperative multitasking for Windows
apps, which can be waylaid by an errant application, and preemptively
scheduled DOS boxes, but it multitasks nonetheless.  Your feeble attempt
at FUD would probably be better if you knew that which you are FUDding.
