Can't really address Windows here. My understanding is that nothing runs on z/OS unless it is a task (TCB) or SRB, and that includes things running in a relationship with the USS component of z/OS.
An address space is an address space. It's a space. A task is an "activity." Zero or more tasks might be running in a given address space. A task might run (from time to time) in more than one address space. Read what I wrote earlier. You have to disconnect in your mind the two radically different meanings of "program": - Code sitting in memory. - A processing thread. A PSW address iterating through code. They need not be one-to-one with each other. Code might be the home of zero threads/tasks/processes, and it might be the home of dozens. A thread or task might execute in one "program" in memory now, and in another later.
