                I find it interesting, the different trade offs that each 
operating system has to make to achieve specific 
                results.
                The complexity and myriad of multi-threading functions in MS, 
probably meant the designers gave up 
                some other types of functionality.
                Our system, lacking multi-threading in the os, makes up for it 
a a great many other areas.

                Perhaps one day we may actually find an os  with the best of 
both systems. Probably not in my lifetime...LOL

as well, this lack of multi threading capability on IBM's part, may be the 
single largest reason preventing the port of OS400
to the Desktop/Laptop

Just my .02 cents.
