Software Transactional Memory

I recently came across this on MSDN.

"Software Transactional Memory (STM.NET) is a mechanism for efficient isolation of shared state. The programmer demarcates a region of code as operating within a transaction that is “atomic” and “isolated” from other transacted code running concurrently."

This is an experimental release allowing c# coders to try this technology out. It requires VS 2008 and is only available now for c#. I will have to find a machine to test this out though since I am on 64 bit and it only supports 32.

Exciting though to see this...
