Whew, so we've got CreateWaitableTimer, CreateTimerQueueTimer from another comment, and now CreateThreadpoolTimer as well. But that's not all - we already had WM_TIMER from the article.
TFA says POSIX has one type of timer, and it sucks. Windows has 4 types... but how many of them suck? I've used CreateWaitableTimer, and it was alright. I do know WM_TIMER sucks, but I've never used CreateTimerQueueTimer or CreateThreadpoolTimer. So, worst case is a draw. I'd like to see Windows winning here though.
