What?!

I've supported Windows for quite a few years now (ever since I stopped
being OS/2-exclusive (and will do until I can be Linux-exclusive...
too many people use it for me to drop it). There is nothing
cooperative or single-threaded about Windows multitasking around I/O.

I don't disagree that it absolutely sucks compared to Linux (even OS/2
from the 1990s beats today's Windows in a few areas), but not that
one.
