In preemptive multithreading, threads are preempted while they are in execution, by some other high priority thread before they're done with execution... in co-operative multithreading the threads can only voluntarily yield and cannot be preempted

Preemption is not always because of higher priority threads.

Pre-emptive multithreading is also done because time-slice expired, right?
