In Windows NT, serializing access to data and system resources within processes and among threads is nontrivial. Jeffrey Richter discusses several techniques you can use to manage multithreaded applications regardless of which synchronization objects you use.

A major design goal of Windows NT is to maintain compatibility with its 16-bit sibling, but there's                        still quite a bit to do. Although porting your 16-bit Windows-based application to Windows NT                        sounds frightening, it's really not that difficult a process.
