Multi-tasking means doing more than one task at a time; such as printing, burning c.d's, etc. all at the same time. Multi-programming means running more than one program at one time; such as Microsoft Word, AOL, Windows Media Player, all at one time. Multi-processing means that your computer can process more than one thing at a time.

When we say a system is a multiprogramming system?

Multiprogramming is collecting several jobs in a job pool and the OS selects the job from the pool so that the CPU has one job to execute , in case of any IO request for the job in execution the CPU switches to another job here switching is less compared to multitasking.So a computer system which allows such type of switching in between jobs is called a multiprogramming system. Please make note that multitasking is done by user but multiprogramming is done by operating system only.
