It did support multiple threads and pre-emptive multitasking.
Are we getting old for knowing that Reentrancy was an issue before multi-core processors became the norm for consumers?
Yup. Let’s go do some bird watching and have a beer and reminisce about computers with kilobytes of RAM, old buddy.
Yeah thanks for pointing this out. It certainly didn't _feel_ like Windows 95 supported preemption when I was using it :)
