Um, how's about "Nooooo!" (think Dr Evil's voice here).
By far, it is the one OS that allows the user to manage many things at once, without any one task having to suffer. It encourages, not just "is capable of" running and sharing information between many applications at the same time: listen to music in the background, open an email, reply to it, after opening a web site and grabbing the url to paste into the email, get a text message and answer it, answer a phone call and then append that email with the shopping list your wife just gave you, send the email and THEN go back to playing Agnry Birds.
Therefore, it allows the user to truly multitask.

You can think whatever you like; the facts are that WebOS is the closest OS to a PC desktop regarding multitasking, hands down. Task switching is only part of that capability.
As for the Playbook, yep, they did a pretty good job there with QNX, so good, that it looks and works exactly like.. um... er....
WEBOS!
Wow, hows about that?
(If WebOS dies, QNX just might be something to consider, then, cause its such a clone of it!)
