What if that one program is a Virtual Machine interpreting bytecodes for a language like Lisp or Smalltalk? From one point of view, only one program is running on the hardware, however many Smalltalk 'Processes' (really, cooperative green threads) could be running simultaneously. This was once the case for Smalltalk. It may have been the case for Lisp machines.
