Processes

Threads - I've no idea. Processes would be "programs" running, right?

A _process_ is usually an exe file. A process contains virtual memory,
code, resources and data. In it there is also a _thread_ called the
primary thread.

When a process is created in Windows, a structure called a _handle_ is
produced which refers to the process. Handles are used to track processes.

Within a process there can be many threads which inherit the environment
of the parent process. Threads allow an application to run chunks of code
in parallel (threads synchronize and communicate using messages).
