values specify the relative scheduling priority of
threads.</para>
      <para>Operating systems are not guaranteed to support
   preemptive scheduling. Also, the concept of "thread priority" might not exist at
   all or its meaning might vary, depending on the underlying operating system.
   Implementers of this type are required to describe how the notion of thread
   priority maps to operating system priority. For more information about threads,
   see the <see cref="T:System.Threading.Thread" />
   class. </para>
      <para> The <see cref="P:System.Threading.Thread.Priority" />
property sets and returns the priority value information for a thread.
Applications can request a scheduling priority for a thread by setting the
<see cref="P:System.Threading.Thread.Priority" /> property to the appropriate 
<see langword="ThreadPriority" />
value. The
default thread priority is <see cref="F:System.Threading.ThreadPriority.Normal" />
.</para>
