Windows 95 will have preemptive multitasking, but it will *not*
multitask Windows 3.x applications preemptively.  So any apps
written specifically for Windows 95 will be multitasked properly.

I too have "run the beta", and was quite impressed with overall
speed of operation.  I believe there is a problem with multi-threaded
applications though.
