Intel on Tuesday said it would release this week eight technical papers describing key findings from the company's work on future programmable multicore architectures. The papers will be published in the Intel Technical Journal and will provide details on how the company expects future microprocessors with simplified parallel programming models to evolve.

As I understand it, a lot of work is being done in the compiler and the underlying OS to make HTM support *transparent* to the application and userbase.
But AFAIK apps will still have to have begin_transaction() and end_transaction() in the code. Transactional memory makes multithreaded programming easier, but it doesn't create the threads for you.
