I've heard that the following are the big differences. (I've only
programed on Posix.)
* File permissions are different, but you rarely code this into
your programs.
* Process control, such as starting programs and threads, is
completely different. (Threads are simpler on Posix than
Windows, IMHO.)
* GUI programs are quite different. A summary of the differences
is available from
