Windows 95 introduced preemptive multitasking to Windows family of OSes. Earlier Windows versions used co-operative multitasking.
Actually, that's not accurate either... It used a process called multithreading. Something M$ didn't want you to know. Along with 99.975% of the OS being 16 bit, "thunking" in BOTH directions, not just from 16 to 32 bit tasks.
I was trained to support win95 by M$ trainers before it was released.
Oh, and as for my vote of best multitasking OS, that'd be IRIX.
