Answer Posted / nalin jayasuriya
A thread consists of a series of computer instructions...
and usually corresponds to the CPUs execution of a series
of instructions. Threads use the registers and the 'stack'
as its memory (state).
A process contains at least one thread and private memory.
A process is the operating system loads when one executes a
program. When a process contains multiple threads, there is
usually thread synchronization needed.
In Windows programming, the primary thread is what creates
the user-interface controls and it's that thread that is
allowed exclusive privileges to update the user-interface.
In Windows programming, a process receives and sends
messages to the operating system.
