Can you give us a reference? i.e., where is the thread pooling behavior you
described documented?

On the Free threaded component question: I'd agree with Richard; instance
data would have to be protected unless you configure the component with
"requires serialization." Statics and globals would have to be protected
regardless.

Subject: COM+ and free threading

Hi all,

I realise that when you setup a COM+ component to be threading model "Both",
it uses the STA thread pool provided by COM+ which is restricted to use 8 -
10 concurrent threads on a single CPU thread. My question is, if I have a
component setup to be threading model "Free", will this use the STA
threadpool? If not, will it be restricted in the number of concurrent
threads that can access it?
Also, will the component have to be thread safe, protect instance data,
etc.? Or will this be provided by COM+?

Any help is appreciated.
