You are WRONG.  Windows aps can really multitask!  I have played a
version of tetris for Windows 3.0 WHILE at the same time DOWNLOADING a
file using kermit in the terminal program included in windows! 
In enhanced (386) mode with  enough memory you can
even multitask DOS PROGRAMS! In real and standard (86 and 286 modes) you
must settle for task switching for DOS programs but you can still
multitask windows programs.
