This is absolute correct, and when processors get bogged down, one can
see that the manner in which Windows chooses to "multitask" can be part
of the problem. Having said this, I would add that to the average user,
whether we use the true multitasking provided by Linux or the apparent
multitasking provided by Microsoft Windows,
It still seems like multitasking.

Hi all,
Nobody who uses Windows of any flavor knows what *true* multitasking
is because even though you don't know it, your processor is switching
between tasks. Even though you *think* you're multitasking, you
aren't. A windows OS may spend a millisecond on each successive task,
but it does so singly. Only Linux does *true* multitasking, running
operations concurrently.
