Until that time its like having a V8 rammed into a bone stock Focus base model sedan. Lovely to look at and tell yer friends about, but its use is severely limited by its surrounding arcitecture.

You do know that XP Pro is dual-core aware and capable OOTB, right?
You also must be aware that there is a plethora of apps available right now in many fields for multi-core / multi-threaded use?
Also, killer app is one thing. MS's latest "bloaterating system" is hardly keeping 64-bit or dual-core / multi-core goodness from appearing. If nothing else, we'll get to enjoy a multi-core environment long before their logic vampires completely wreck the entire experience.
