The analogy to COM apartments is completely to the point. In fact, if you look at the PPL header files for C++/CX you will notice that the PPL system explicitly refers to COM apartments. Since IAsyncAction and friends can be used from C++/CX and .NET alike they are actually sharing very much of the same principles.
