  not always true :)

  but, in general terms they do :) if you want threading, you need
  to write your own threading algorithms/libraries (using software)
  which may not be pre-emtive...

  there are some API's available to have specific callbacks occur
  after a certain number of ticks as well - but, i am not at liberty
  to discuss the how-to for those here. you could use this to make
  threading happen. i was able to write a small demo that would
  set a random pixel on the screen even after it had terminated.
  (ie: in the launcher, random pixels would continue to be set)
  cool stuff.
