I should notice something: because of the way xna handles input, Keyboard input can be received only from the main thread, due to this you have to create your own input handler to fix this

When I try using Multiple Threads, the controls don’t seem to work, however they do work if I use a single thread (uncomment the line in the draw method and comment out the one in load). Any idea why this is?

a simpler approach might be:
a) each GameComponent maintains two DrawState objects
b) Draw() method ONLY uses information in current DrawState object to draw
c) Update() keeps only ONE version of “UpdateState”
d) single point of control for flip flop using Game.CurrentDrawStateIndex = 0 or 1
e) GameComponent.Draw() { CurrentState = DrawState[Game.CurrentDrawStateIndex]; }
this is easy to design – anything that Draw() requires goes into DrawState

yah, I think your system is a great intro to the very complex world of multithreading. Like I said, I originally went down a very similar path to what you are describing, so I do feel that there are benefits, but in my situation the drawbacks outweighed them.
