Yeah, right. And back in 1983, Ada already tried to encapsulate that in a task object. If any of the FPC developers had time to implement something more nifty, there would have been plenty of time to come up with something. Quite a while ago there were even some ideas shared for the OMP API etc. pp. I can't imagine that Microsoft's ideas of adding multi processing to dot-net will change the overall picture. Especially not when I think of all the parallel language( construct)s invented in the past 30 years to accomplish just that.
