	The same as running two PROGRAMS at the same time:  so you don't
have to exit one to run the other.  An operating system is just a program,
you know.
	Simply put:  if you could switch between Amiga OS and MINIX without
rebooting, isn't that better than requiring a reboot?  Ask any Bridgeboard
owner.
