 From an "OS View" threads are just processes only that the memory 
manager tables are common. So they are as useful as processes are and 
even a lot faster when it comes to transferring informations between the 
threads of a process. Only the programmers are having problems to handle 
this power :).

So it would be great to be able to use threads but to hide this from the 
programmers, (only very few programmers decently understand the use of 
"ThreadVar"). TThread does this hiding very bad. Parallel Loops might 
offer a more easy to use language based Thread model. I think there are 
some more such concepts around.
