Something I find useful under Win32 is the ability to set a thread's name 
so that it can be easily identified in the debugger. This attribute is also 
present in Linux and MacOS, but implemented slightly differently in each 
case, with different limitations.

This ticket for the wxWidgets framework provides links to several resources 
about this as well as some discussion about the differences in the platform 
implementations:
