While OS/2 had other issues, I believe it also had proper preemptive multitasking much earlier than Windows?
You could also run NT as a consumer if you wanted something stable with proper multitasking. Since it wasn't targeted consumers, using it for games was uphill, but NT 4.0 was a very nice OS otherwise.
