You're claiming that preemption by nature is not Unix-like?
Kernel preemption is not traditionally part of UNIX.
True original AT&T was non-preemptible, but it also didn't originally have paging. Today, Solaris, IRIX, latest BSD (via BSDng), etc. are all preemptible kernels.
He doesn't like IRIX, so ... :-)
