  I am not 100% sure, but I doubt it since Microsoft is hardly known for producing an OS that plays nice with others.
  
  I think it is more or less a *nix thing.

  I thought NT4.0 was Posix complient. I could be wrong though.

  use conditional compiler directives.
  [code]
  #if defined(_WIN32)
  // CreateThread(/* blabla*/)
  #elif defined(_UNIX)
  // create thread using posix functions
  #endif
  [/code]
