#Multitasking Help!
*** Multitasking and Amiga, Windows, and OS/2 ***
I was always under the impression that the Amga has true multitasking
and that Windows uses some sort of timesharing system, but it's not true
multitasking. Then I heard something about OS/2 using multitasking.
Anyway, I got into a discussion with some people and they said that
OS/2 uses pre-emptive multitasking and Windows uses cooperative
multitasking and that there wasn't that much of a difference between
them.
Could someone please educate me on this? What kind of multitasking does
the Amiga employ and how is it different from what Windows and OS/2 uses?
I thought the Amiga's custom chips and its design were what allowed it to
have true multitasking; whereas the Windows' timesharing arrangement was a
software kludge. I don't know much about OS/2.
Could someone explain to me the differences in the way "multitasking"
works on the Amiga, Windows, and OS/2?
Thanks.
