Threads predate Java and NT, and with a much MUCH better
implementation, on OS/2. I don't consider my mind to have been
*contaminated* by the OS/2 threading model, which worked superbly.
Like all models, it has its limitations, but it's one worth getting
your head around IMO. Knowing when to use threads, when to use
processes, and when to keep everything in a single thread with some
kind of dispatch loop (and *which* dispatch loop) is a valuable skill.

But yes, the Windows threading model does have a number of annoying
flaws. And I don't remember how Java did things, except that I
struggled to find basic fundamental primitives like semaphores, and
had to use synchronized functions/objects instead.
