AFAIK, windows spawns a separate thread to do the actual debugging,
but this is hidden from you, and you can carry on debugging normally.
On Linux/OSX we even spawn a separate process.

In short, there should be no noticeable user-facing differences
between the platforms. If you find any, then we'd like to know about
them.
