Chapter 2, Parallel Loops, p15 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg663527.aspx) says: 'replace the for_each keyword with a call to the parallel_for_each method'. However, 'for_each' is not a keyword. (At least, not according the C++ Standard.) So instead, I would suggest: 'replace the for_each call with a call to the parallel_for_each method'.
Ade: Should read:
To take advantage of multiple cores, replace the for_each call with a call to the parallel_for_each method.

Paragraph 5 on page |
Codeplex: There is an in Considerations for Small Loop Bodies section.
When you have small loop bodies, you can apply the techniques that were described in Chapter 3, "Parallel Loops" in the "Special Handling of Small Loop Bodies" section.
Should read "in Chapter 2,"

3rd paragraph on page. |
Codeplex: Minor typo - page 72. "that implied data flow" should be "than implied data flow".
"However, in general, explicit data flow is less prone to error that implied data flow." should be "than implied data flow"
Ade: This should be:
However, in general, explicit data flow is less prone to error than implied data flow.

Minor typo ? page 115. ?use patterns? should be ?usage patterns? or ?patterns of use?.
Ade: Should read:
If it detects usage patterns that indicate consistent underutilization of a core, the resource manager might reassign that core to another scheduler.

Page 120 ? ?could cause bugs? is incorrect. This ?is a defect in the design and/or implementation? or ?might result in unintended behaviour?, but it doesn?t ?cause bugs?.
Ade: Should read:
If your cores are very busy and message delivery does not have a high priority, tasks that depend on receiving data from the messaging buffers might not be run, possibly resulting in unintended behavior.

Minor typo - page 131. "proved by the Concurrency Runtime" should be "provided by the Concurrency Runtime ".
Ade: Should read:
Recall that there are two kinds of blocking operations: cooperative blocking operations provided by the Concurrency Runtime and "noncooperative" blocking operations provided by the operating system.
