Concerning multitasking.  As I understand it, much of Win 96 :-) is still based
on 16 bit code, and it WILL NOT PREEMPTIVELY multitask 16 bit windows programs.
I'm pretty sure the ONLY preemptively multitaskable apps are the native 32 bit guys.

You should get a copy of _Undocumented Windows 95_ or _Inside Win 95_ or
something like that.  Perhaps someone else will clear up the title.  It's really 
fat and pokes big holes in Microsoft's marketing hype.
