ERTS (Erlang Runtime System) included in R11B dose not support SMP on Windows. Windows will be supported in a future release. You can find more detailed info here: http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/erts/notes.html#1.13

thanks for answer but still - why erlang does not using both cores on linux platform by default?

Start Erlang with -smp auto flag. This starts the Erlang runtime system with SMP support enabled if it is available and more than one logical processor are detected.
This will probably be the default behavior some time in the future.

If you want some "automatic" way of enabling smp read this post: http://www.erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2007-July/027881.html

yeah.. but.. hm.... it is just strange to disable the most valuable Erlang's feature by default
