Abstract
One of Silverlight’s least expected surprises is its support for multithreading—the fine art of executing more than one piece of code at the same time.

However, multithreading hasn’t appeared in the toolkit of most browserbased developers, and it’s notably absent from both JavaScript and Flash.
