A very good article on multithreading, which apparently will be rolled out in Intel's upcoming Prescott chips. Very enlightening, although I kinda wish he'd aknowledged the Amiga as a preemptive multitasking machine way back in 1985, and not making it seem like the Mac did it first (it did cooperative multitasking like early Windows versions).
