No you literally can not multitask with a single CPU, since one CPU can only process one task at a time, because with your 32-bit and 64-bit OS the OS allots CPU time to the application for a specific time then the OS preempts the processing to give the CPU to another application, the programs may appear to be multitasking but they are not, that is called preemptive multitasking.

Nope it's not, a multiuser OS can be used by many people, one at at time. Lets say you have one computer for the whole family to share, you can use a different login for them so they can only log into their part only after you are done with it.With a Multitasking OS you can do more then one thing at a time, like, watch a movie on your device and play a game at the same time.Here's another analogy, rub your belly and at the same time pat your head, that's multitasking.
