Funny, I always thought otherwise, because Windows only has 
threads.

Processes are just a means of grouping threads on Windows, as 
there
isn't the distinction between threads and processes that UNIX 
systems used to make.

Then again, I lost track how the performance on Linux systems 
changed across the whole Processes -> LinuxThreads -> NPTL -> 
Posix Threads evolution.
