The original topic here was MAC OS and AmigaOS. How many MAC users in the big
picture use A/UX! A very small percentage of a percentage of a percentage.
Probably 99.99999999999999999999999999% of MAC users use MAC OS, and it DOES NOT
do preemptive multitasking! The PC people want to yell out Xenix, Linux, etc but
once again 99.99999999999999999999999999% of PC users used Windows3.1 until very
recently and it DOES NOT do true preemptive multitasking either.
