Yes and no... there's no native POSIX thread wrapper, if that's what you mean (say like pthreads on OSF wraps DECThreads AFAIK). There's a development effort here (http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32/) to help those using Windows, but if it was me, I'd probably stick to native Windows threads. It's not going to be on people's machines by default.
