Why? It's a quarter century old. Did it even support threads?

There is a sync object in windows called a keyed event, however I think
its only for the kernel. Iirc, I learned about it in a sysinternals
magazine. Forgot the issue number. It is a special type of Windows Event
object.

Windows Nt supports threads since its very first version, non-intuitively
named 3.1. I.e. 30 years.

Yup. You are correct. Windows NT 4 even had IOCP.

Didn't IOCP come earlier? Nt 3.5?

Anyway, thanks for the brain sparks, Michael!
