This is not true, individual widgets most definitely do not have their own threads. Windows each have their own threads, which is indeed different from virtually every other OS which does not have this (or even allow off-the-main-thread UI operations.)

WPF can have a different Dispatcher per window, but inded, that's a fairly rare capability. I can't say I've ever needed to use this, though.

Win32 in general allows multiple threads each with its own UI event loop and associated windows.
