Understand from this guide how and when - as well as when not - to use multithreading.

Join Microsoft's Concurrency and Coordination Runtime and MSMQ to coordinate work across processes on multiple computers.

With more and more computers using a multi-core processor, the free lunch of increased clock speeds and the inherent performance gains are over. Software developers must instead make sure their applications take use of all the cores available in an efficient manner. New features in .NET 4.0 mean that managed code developers too can join the party.
