3 DavidHallett 1 A [MultiThreaded] application is one which has more that one thread of execution, potentially executing in parallel. Most modern [GUI] applications (and all [Java][GUI] programs) are [MultiThreaded]. Responsive [GUI]s are much easier to write with threads - just run separate threads to get actual work done and have one or more threads take care solely of the [GUI]. Without threads, you'd have to make sure to constantly check back whether the user has requested anything while you're in the middle of your heavy lifting.
