And the truth is that a suite of well balanced Cooperative multitasking 
machines will perform as well (in some cases better) as a pre-emptive 
multitasking OS kernel.

However!

Mike Horwath's original argument was that Win95 does not perform pre-emptive 
multitasking at the kernel level. And he wanted you to prove it. Facts are 
facts, and the entire Win95 kernel and Win32 subsystem are premptively 
multitasked. He will deny this to his dying day. If you do provide proof, he 
will slam bill gates to prove his illogical point.

The problem is that you will never be able to prove to this nut that you are 
right. He is the self-proclaimed guru of all OS's. He knows what the 
users want. Lately his only arguments have been to criticize the manufacturers 
of marketing and technical spoofs, instead of relying on fact and substance. 
Sounds like a real genius.

It's no suprise that him and Nathan are buddies.
