The MacOS 9 would be cooperative multitasking, like Win95/Win98.
What came next, is everyone pivoted to preemptive multitasking
(no more two crashes per day).
Apple did add something called the “Thread Manager”, to allow preemptive
multithreading, back in System 7.something. Unfortunately this only did
preemption on 68K Macs: on PowerPC, the preemption didn’t work.
Because, remember, it wasn’t just multitasking that was big in the 1990s,
it was multithreading as well.
