Two points here, one neither the Atari nor the 8088 based PC try to multitask.
The AT has an MMU built into the '286. Lets not debate this issue yet again
(the last time the consensus was "Multitasking is a lot safer with an MMU,
however with clever system software and reasonably well behaved programs
it is not required.")
