A clarification from you may be required. :-)
When you are asking about multi-threading capabilities, are you using the
phrase "multi-threaded" as an alias for multitasking (between different
processes) or are you using "multi-threaded" in it's current modern form,
where it describes multiple threads of execution within a single process
space (and is different from multitasking) ?
IE: VMS has been multitasking from day 1, but was not multi-threaded until
later.
