The documented OOP extensions of Visual Basic certainly look a lot like
C++. The place the really fall on their faces is their view of
concurrency. They define "Free Threads". "Free Threads" appear to
be little concurrent chunks that must execute completely
asynchronously from the rest of the code. There does not seem to be
any equivalent to a Rendezvous, or even mutually exclusive access to
shared memory.

That was my understanding too. "Free Threads" seems not a very hot
feature to me :)
