![]() programs have interaction with each other through the Mac OS kernel.runs multiple programs simultaneously and can run background threads which do not have to be programmed into the application, and are optionally controlled either through the application or with defaults in Mac OS itself.hardware plug and play options, most hardware requires Mac OS drivers.older programs do not have to be rewritten to take advantage of threading, they are automatically threaded by the OS.runs multiple programs in separate environments with limited backgrounding support – priority for backgrounding is determined by the friendliness of the foreground application. ![]() no hardware plug and play options supported in software.software emulation of the Windows 95/DOS environment is built into NT but still multithreaded environments.programs have always had interaction on top of the NT kernel.runs multiple programs simultaneously and can run background threads which do not have to be programmed into the application, and are optionally controlled either through the application or with Windows NT.most hardware has Windows NT driver support.programs must be written to support the multithreading in Windows 95, as it was a new feature when 95 was released.can background program threads, but backgrounding is controlled in the OS, not the program.can run multiple programs simultaneously.Windows NT runs on it’s own kernel, just like 7.5 and higher, but didn’t really have a multitasking competitor in the Mac OS department – until 8.1. Windows 95 compares to System 7.1 pretty solidly in the way it handles itself, and Windows 98 seems more like an improved 7.1 that acts like System 7.5 without the core kernel support. Windows 95 handles multitasking in the kernel and threads out to programs, but they have to specifically be written for multithreading, while Macintosh programs are by default multithreading and multitasking under Mac OS 8.1. ![]() Windows NT is the only Microsoft variation that handles multitasking like Mac OS 8. Windows 95 doesn’t do multitasking, just multithreading. “Although systems prior to Mac OS 8 can indeed do more than one thing at a time, OS 8 is also a better form of multitasking, a.k.a.
