>Hertzfeld recently admitted that the Mac OS just did not work well for >multitasking. > What he actually said was that he doesn't do multitasking of existing Mac applications under Servant, even though he could, because it would be too sluggish for his taste -- largely because of the large amount of state to be saved. Instead, he has defined "Servant tasks", which new applications (or rewritten old ones) could use in order to be suitable for multitasking under Servant. Since Apple has purchased non-exclusive distribution rights to Servant, one expects this to lead to an evolution of the Mac into a multitasking system.
