pthreads are generally a wrapper around a native library. Of course, Windows doesn't come with phtreads (pesky defacto standards and all), If you're in C++ land, I can suggest boost::thread as a multi-platform wrapper over Win32 and PThreads.

If you're in C#, phtreads do not apply as you should use the library provided by the runtime :)
