I've read about some Microthreading and continuations work on Mono:

Tomi Valkeinen's page on Mono (http://bat.org/~tomba/monoco.html) doesn't
have the info anymore.
About SecondLife's implementation I couldn't even find if they open sourced
the code related to their microthreads implementation (or if they're even
obliged to by license), but seemed very interesting due to being able to
migrate running code across machines.

So shortly:
1. Which is the actual state of any similar concept in Mono's VM wether the
official implementation or alternative modifications?
2. Would that break compatibility with Microsoft's VM?
3. Are there any plans heared on Microsoft about implementing something
similar to achieve massive concurrency?

Any info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
