Time-sharing involves multiple users connected to a machine, while multitasking applies as well to single-user operating systems such as Windows 9x. --Damian Yerrick (☎) 04:37, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

multitasking[edit]

what is this?

It's doing many tasks at the same time, such as holding a conversation while you're doing work on the computer and eating a bagel. I'm surprised there isn't a separate article devoted to it. 66.189.116.168 23:00, 28 October 2006 (UTC) John S.[reply]

"MultiTasking Screwing up multiple things at once."; It is - admittedly - a very amusing statement, but hardly in the right place, and more of a candidate to the "Devil's Dictionary". I guess it should be removed. (Jan 29 2007 AR)

'Multitask' must acknowledge its bastard antonym 'semitask', defined (by me) as the ability to appear to be completing a worthwhile task, but to really be wasting the lion's share of your time on e.g. napping, browsing favoured desktop photos, brooding on old grudges etc. 78.16.104.250 (talk) 00:51, 8 December 2007 (UTC) Will Andrews (Dublin Dec 8th 2007)[reply]

Multitasking and time sharing are the same things.In multitasking the cpu is shared by more than one user at the same time. Cpu bound is divided into different time slots .There is switching between two user .The switching is done so fastly that it gives impression to the users that seperate cpu is there for both of them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nitinkdb (talk • contribs) 18:19, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
