Most modern, desktop or server oriented operating systems support POSIX threading. There are even implementations for Windows (although Windows doesn't support pthreads natively, and the open source implementations are typically a subset of pthread features).

The only non-Microsoft platforms I've seen that don't directly support pthreads are typically embedded systems. Threading support on embedded OS platforms is often customized for that system's hardware, and doesn't use standard threading libraries.
