I'm offering this opinion just to be a little contrary, buuut..
On a desktop, I don't want most apps using every processor they can find. I'd be much happier if they efficiently used one processor. I'd even be happy if they ate up one processor and stuck there. That way I could run my badly behaved app that eats up only one CPU and do the things I like (surfing perl monks, for example) while the badly behaved app beats up one of my cores in the background.
The problem with encouraging applications to seek out new cores, to boldly go where code has never gone before is the crummy programmers who can't write things that coexist with others are going to go take your whole machine because they can.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
