Actually, there is hope for that;
* If the O/S is constructed well for multi-core, *any* software for that OS will benefit.
* Once compilers for all common programming languages are optimized for multi-core, applications will benefit 'just-like-that', in one swoop.
Choose a nice *NIX for O/S today instead of Winblows, and excellent support & optimization for optimal multi-core computing is there, right out the box!
Parallell computing is where it's at, no coincidence it is (and has been for quite some time) the core concept of most super computers...
The future is gonna be cool in these aspects...
