I just want to point out that there is a world of difference between multi-threading and orchestrated multi-tasking. With COM, multiple instances of a process can run concurrently, true, and it's a good thing, but there is no orchestration, i.e. no "dispatcher" to launch, monitor, track and account for async tasks as is required of a multi-tasking application.
