Disappointing but unsurprising that the data-parallel primitive in their standard library is the least-abstract, most-stateful implementation, and is named For/ForEach! Could they at least implement slices, map, and fold/reduce?

standard library? if you read the article, you would have seen that it's some guy's blog, not microsoft's C# API.

  That's actually what the name of the method is in .NET 4.0 (the official version).

  Yes, standard library! If you read the article, you would have seen that it's some guy's backport of a Microsoft API from C#4 to C#2-3.5.

All of these are implemented in Parallel Linq, though they're called "Take", "Select", and "Aggregate" (slices are the one I'm least familiar with, I could be flubbing that)
