As described in Section 4.7.2, Linux does not distinguish between
processes and threads. Instead, Linux treats both in the same way,
allowing a task to be more akin to a process or a thread depending on the
set of flags passed to the clone() system call. However, other operating
systems, such as Windows, treat processes and threads differently.
Typically, such systems use a notation in which the data structure for
a process contains pointers to the separate threads belonging to the
process. Contrast these two approaches for modeling processes and
threads within the kernel.
Yes - the Windows method __SUCKS__ and is difficult to write on the OS
level and debug on the user level. Don't use MS products.
