Doubt it Zing... I'm a developer and companies dont give a toss about effecient coding. Besides a single core is fast enough by itself and why build faster and more efficient coding when you dont have a direct competitor.

Some apps will have to go smp of course due to stiff market competition... Also how much is Vista internally tuned to running under SMP vs single core anyway.
