TBB is in my opinion a pretty damn good framework, it is a commercial product Intel ships since a few weeks but definitely worth looking at for the concepts or for your commercial applications. If people are interested I can get them some more info or they can look at Intel's website for Threading Building Blocks for more information.

I totally missed it (I just learned about it from a russian colleague who lives in the US even though i am subscribed to the magazine) but for those with access to the article in C'T 21 on page 234 should read it.
