Chess programmers and CS students that take a parallel programming class is a
very skewed sample.  The fact is that multiple processor systems are very rare
as home users' desktops.  It's hard to expect that to change until Microsoft
puts multi-processor support into their consumer version of Windows (I don't see
Linux making any gigantic gains as a desktop OS in a near future).
