Damn you're dense. :-) Really. MySql does all that sort of stuff. 
Indeed, I have a process that monitors the hot spare every 30 seconds 
and tells me if it gets more than 60 seconds behind the live master. My 
read-only heavy queries run against the hot spare instead of the live 
read/write database. I'm doing financial transactions that need to audit.

Really. Your information is at least 5 years out of date. You're 
complaining that you just wish Windows supported true multitasking.

     It's not feature creep if you put it
     at the end and adjust the release date.
