Pthreads vs Win32 threads

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the different-situations,-different-needs dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It's interesting when different people have different opinions. While I was searching for something on Intel's website, I came across an article on why Windows threads are better than Posix threads. Curiously, I also came across this article on why Posix Pthreads are better that Win32 threads. The thing is, both of these articles are written by the same author!

So who is right (metaphorically speaking?), or what has changed since the first article was written?"

    Maybe the author got a free laptop prior to the pro-Windows article.

    what has changed since the first article was written?
    The author got a free (as in beer) laptop?

    Yes, I completely agree! Suggest to that guy to kill the Win32 thread.
