What else can I help you with?
Does Windows use a preemptive or cooperative type of multitasking?
Both. Windows 3.1 and earlier used cooperative multitasking. Windows 95 and later use preemptive multitasking.
What system is the father of almost all modern multiuser systems?
There is no correct answer without qualifying which multiuser systems are being discussed. All modern operating systems have inherited traits and abilities from other older multiuser systems. There are multiple multiuser operating systems currently in use. IBM has their mainframe system (Z/os) as well as IBM i, both multiuser systems are unique from each other and from other systems. IBM also has AIX, a descendant of unix. Current unix systems go back to the original proprietary AT&T unix implementation in the 1970's and 1960's. Unix itself was modeled after a multiuser system called Multics. Linux was modeled after unix but written independently of it. Microsoft Windows NT was designed by Dave Cutler who brought his experience in developing OpenVMS with him. All other Microsoft Window implementations follow from that.
Whats the difference between cooperative multitasking and preemptive multitasking?
Mike Newton Cooperative Multitasking:- When computer usage evolved from batch mode to interactive mode, multiprogramming was no longer a suitable approach. Each user wanted to see his program running as if it was the only program in the computer. The use of time sharing made this possible, with the qualification that the computer would not seem as fast to any one user as it really would be if it were running only that user's program. Early multitasking systems consisted of suites of related applications that voluntarily ceded time to each other. This approach, which was eventually supported by many computers operating systems, is today known as cooperative multitasking. Although it is rarely used in larger systems, Microsoft Windows prior to Windows 95 and Windows NT, and Mac OS prior to Mac OS X both used cooperative multitasking to enable the running of multiple applications simultaneously. Windows 9x also used cooperative multitasking, but only for 16-bit legacy applications
Why windows is multitasking and UNIX is multiprogramming?
Not really a true statement; both Windows and UNIX have multi-tasking and multi-programming capabilities.

One aspect of multitasking is the ability to perform multiple tasks simultaneously. This is true for both machines like computers and humans which greatly increase their productivity by multitasking.
