thread.suspend

[sattenapalli]

In MSDN it was given that when we call thread.suspend o.s won't suspend it immediately.It waits until it reaches "safe point".
1)What is safepoint?

2)what are background threads?How they are useful?

3)what is "service"?Do O.S treats services like threads and schedules services similar to threads?

Safe points refers to points in code where for instance GC can be safely performed.
