It was running under the Finder, and multiple finders were running, without knowledge of each other. Does anyone know anything about this ? When will it be released to the public ? Is this a viable possibility for use by the average user to attain pre-emptive multitasking ? Is this a viable possibility for the user wanting to hack the innards of an OS for learning purposes ?
