Win9x "multitasking" is a bit obscure. My impression is that the main problem with Win9x is the dumb old FAT file system. I think it more or less requires disk i/o to be synchronous at the OS level. This makes any multitasking that is available sort of a joke. I also figure the FAT file system is mainly responsible for what I find to be the worst feature of the Win9x line, the tendency for the OS to fall to pieces on disk over time, necessitating reinstallation. Needing to reboot daily or worse is bad enough, needing to reinstall the OS every few months is just bizarre.
