I don't think multitasking and the like is a viable option. It can be
done in theory but is such an enormous undertaking that it isn't in my
opinion worth tackling. Given the problems inherent when you have no
memory protection, it would only serve to make the system less stable,
I think.
Most of the machinery has already been done though. I forget the name
of the "MultiFinder" like extension, but that provided a great
enhancement to the 'experience'.
IMO the biggest improvement would be do to what Apple (and the open
source community) now do: ship the development tools with the system.
