Hypertroller?
In my opinion you missed the point.
A hypervisor can do no more to help a given application (by today's definition) than an OS can. Both provide services to distribute the app across multiple hardware threads.
A hypervisor helps when there are multiple apps (as does the OS to a lesser extent), and multiple OSes involved.
"Intel can have any number of Threaded Building Block development efforts to add parallel programming to C++ applications as it likes, but they're not going to boost the speed of the weekly sales order processing run."
This is exactly the sort of activity that will drive improvements in application performance, including the one doing your weekly sales order processing run.
Hypervisors are not magic. The industry has to suck it up and learn new skills to build traditional and new apps on many cores, or it will stagnate. This hardware will soon be everywhere, not just in niche areas like gaming and data centres.
