Notes from GHC/Conc.hs:

-- Note: threadDelay, threadWaitRead and threadWaitWrite aren't really functional -- on Win32, but left in there because lib code (still) uses them (the manner -- in which they're used doesn't cause problems on a Win32 platform though.)

may be, authors of "Tackling The Awkward Squad" just wrote their subroutines for working in Unix. also you can try -threaded option on compilation and try to use forkOS isntead of forkIO

I don't think bounded threads work under Win32 yet. JCAB
