Microsoft says multicores no good without software threading

Microsoft says multicores no good without software threading: "Massively multicore CPUs need massively multicore aware software and tools. One without the other doesn't get you far, and both sides seem to realise this."

Word up.

Don't kid yourself. Even experienced programmers find issues when testing in these environments. As CPUs get faster (whaaaa...?) and more cores proliferate, synchronization issues become more prevalent (in other words, they bite you in the ass).
