We *definitely* have a lot of concepts running around now.
Windows and MacOS certainly did "take over the world" when
their multi-tasking was primitively co-operative.  The
usability problems with that are an artifact of the *inter*-
process model.  I don't think anyone in this thread has
said ...--well, whatever "intra-process threading ... was
not high on the problem list" doesn't negate what *I* read
as others' points.

>From what I can tell, Windows *still* has problems with the
separate process affecting each other.  I think that, too,
is a different matter.
