Cloanto critisize AmigaXL marketing : Comment 43 of 82 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 29-Nov-2001 17:05 GMT | "Real" multitasking is running multiple tasks AT THE SAME TIME. This REQUIRES multiple CPU:s. The multitasking we know from Amiga (and many other operating systems) is a kind of SIMULATED multitasking, where a single processor interupts the execution once in a while and jump between the different processes. It may FEEL like multitasking (both to the user and to the code), but it isn't multitasking in its true sence.
But when people in common talk about multitasking today, the latter is what they mean. |
