The core VM makes no real use of OS processes or threads. Platforms  
are free to do whatever they need to support the system so long as  
they don't break the core. AIUI windows and mac use OS threads to  
harvest OS events for example. The AsynchFilePlugin pretty much  
expects OS threads of some form to be available to support  
asynchronous file access (duh!) but that is an optional plugin and so  
far as I recall is not much used.
