I can't say I know for sure.  It sounded to me like they started to think
differently about parallel programming (i.e., ways of doing it without thinking
threading).  If the presenter mentioned how they're implemented internally, I
don't remember.

I agree.  It seemed to melike threading in C# worked well enough..  But I
suppose it can be useful to see how something could be improved or done
differently or more simply..
