That's not really an excuse. The Amiga had preemptive multitasking
back then, and there was no reason for RISC OS not to go the same
route. I remember the MacOS bigots at the time trying to claim that
cooperative multitasking was a better model, because that was all they
had. It was a weak argument then, just as it is now.
