Thanks Rick, We have started using OpenMP so it is good to hear both technologies will work togeather.  OpenMP seems like a good quick way of getting parallization into existing applications.  With future work getting done in future when the Concurrecy Runtime gets released, isolating tasks as you suggested.

One other question you might to able to answer for me is what impact the Concurrency Runtime will have on UI threads.  Will there be any features that will aid the Concurrency Runtime in communicating with windows/controls ect.  With OpenMP we have few issues when we need to communicate with the UI.

Will this new technology be a replacement for OpenMP?  What will the future support be like for OpenMP?  Some comments on what users should do in the interim before the release of the currency runtime would be appreciated.
