There are two kinds of multitasking, the old one and the new one.
Cooperative MultiTasking, the old way, has applications share all the computers resources with each other. However, if one application didn't share, the computer would crash or other programs wouldn't work, so a new version was needed.
Preemptive MultiTasking is the new way. In this system, the computer decides how much "slice" of resources it should give to each program or service, and guarantees safety. It also makes it fairer, giving more immediate concerns more slice and less important ones less slice.
Multi-tasking has it's purpose. I have been doing this for years. For example, I am able to do this and have the television on. I am concentrating on both things which makes me a multi-tasking person.
I believe women are more prone to multi-tasking because they are the nurturing motherly type. They raise babies, to children, to teens, to adults. They handle many things at once; the baby, the phone ringing, shopping lists and house hold chores like laundry.
Windows 2000

An example of a multitasking operating system is the system at a school. You use many programs and do many tasks at the same time, so you are multitasking on the computer

Mac OS X is a preemptive multitasking system.
Yes. Multitasking is dependent on the operating system, not the processor.
multiprogramming
yes
Preemptive multitasking is when the operating system preemptively interrupts a current task without cooperation. Cooperative multitasking is when the system must be programmed to do tasks.
Linux
Yes, it is multi-tasking.
no...its single task switching system...
no modern operating system that i am aware of does not support multitasking, where the definition of 'multitasking' is 'being able to run multiple processes concurrently'. whoever wrote 'linux' here previously is a troll or doesn't understand what that word means.
