Asked by Federico

Hi everybody,

I'm asking you what's the difference between a real multitasking OS and an apparent one with regard to the functioning of the CPU.

Thanks a lot.

Specifically; compare and contrast the sections on "Cooperative" and "Preemptive" multitasking. Any more detail than that is far outside the scope of an answer. :)

Can you help with this problem?
