  Preemptive multitasking in MacOS isn't something "waiting to be
developed" or "lagging behind other OSs".  It was a conscious design
decision to implement cooperative multitasking in MacOS instead of
preemptive.

  Now, whether or not we all think it was a GOOD design decision isn't
the point...the fact is, it wasn't designed to be there, and unless
they change their minds, it won't be.
