Hi,
I think you might be mistaken, 95,98,98se & 98SP5 known as ME, all had
cooperative multitasking. This has been well documented in the MSDN
developers mailing lists and numerous developers literature. The first
windows that was cooperative was NT 3.51...this went on to variouys
iterations to become Win 2K and laterly XP.
You only really need to look through the support forthe API functions and
where the cut-off is for various functions and where new functions start to
back this up.
By the very definition of cooperative multitasking you only need to look at
the messages in the "Blue Screen of Death" This is primarily a 95, 98, 98SE
and ME phenomenon...
As for 3.11 well you could load various versions of DOS under it ....
Also you might like to consider why MS Visual Basic had to provide support
for the DoEvents function. This was so errant code couldn't hog the
CPU...the only reason this is supported on Win2k -> versions is for backward
compatibility.
I refer you to Dan Appleman - Visual Basic Programmers Guide to the Win32
API IBSN 1-56276-466-2 for the definitive word.
Cheers

Windows has had pre-emptive multitasking since atleast Windows 95.
You're probably thinking of Windows 3.11 and earlier, which had cooperative
multitasking.
The Win9x scheduler, however, is known to be a bit peculiar :-)
