Cringely says no apps for multicores in 2007

One of Cringely's predictions for 2007 involves multi-core chips and the difficulties of multithreading:

"5) AMD and Intel continue to beat the crap out of each other with customers gaining but wondering why there is no software that supports those new 8-way processors, as both compilers and third-party developers fail to keep up."

Unfortunately, he doen't mention ideas for solutions. Nevertheless, realizing that we have a problem would help us towards the solution.

Cringely has not predicted a wave of bugs appearing in old applications when people start using multicore chips. I wonder if he is aware of this possible future type of events.
