Windows Internals, Part 1 Quotes

“The process unique ID is now determined and stored. The kernel does not distinguish between unique process and thread IDs and handles. The process and thread IDs (handles) are stored in a global handle table (PspCidTable) that is not associated with any process.”
― Pavel Yosifovich, Windows Internals, Part 1: System Architecture, Processes, Threads, Memory Management, and More
