<i>Page <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.symbos.de&#x2F;facts.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.symbos.de&#x2F;facts.htm</a>, end of the third paragraph &quot;Real preemptive Multitasking, a dynamic memory-management for up to 576K and more and a totaly MS-Windows-like GUI are the three most important things.&quot;</i><p>The previous sentence is &quot;<i>I want to give everything to SymbOS what a modern OS needs.</i>&quot;, so I read that as being a statement of what the developer wants the OS to have in the future.<p>Further down the page, in the details section, it states &quot;<i>Priority based preemptice [sic] and cooperative multitasking</i>&quot; is done. Wikipedia mentions that a <i>combination</i> of preemptive and cooperative task management is used [1]. I&#x27;m confused.<p>(And just to be clear: I&#x27;m not trying to be negative. I&#x27;m very impressed with the technology and tenacity of the author.)
