My main issue was that you mixed the terms. Minor point is that, luckily, cooperative multitasking is not probably used in any current operating system.
Doh! I didn't even need to go Googling it--I knew full well but expressed it incorrectly. Having come from an Atari ST (co-op under TOS, pre-emptive under MiNT) and Amiga (pre-emptive) background in my early days, I'm well aware of both but had described them in reverse. You're right and even after you pointed it out, I still didn't notice or catch myself. My points remain standing, though, but you're right--the terms WERE reversed.

You're totally in the right. My bad and my apologies! Wish I could grant you some karma points for that.
