Distributed/parallel computing on multi-core processors. We already have dual-core with quad-core on the near horizon. How will we develop software to use this new computing technology. In addition to code working properly, you now have the added complexity of code running over itself - the timing and synchronization issues.
It's not new - cluster computing has been around for a while and parallel computing has been around for a while - but it hasn't been in desktop level machines until recently - which brings the issues of parallel computing to a whole new and large arena of developers and users. We're going to have difficulty getting it to work right, let alone securely.
