Completely invalid question. "What's the difference between apple and Apple?" Just gibberish. My 1.

Delegates do have limitations, as they use the common thread pool, but they make asynchronous programming so much easier. Unless you need more threads than are available in the thread pool, or need more precise control over thread execution, definitely use delegates.

Threads and delegates are different constructs.

A delegate in managed code is a function pointer in other languages. Delegates help us in achieving late binding by allowing us to execute methods on demand. A delegate maintains its own set of parameters that are passed by the client when this delegate is called.

A thread is a different path in a process. Each thread is generally responsible for maintaining its own exception handlers, a priority set and its own context. Threads are an important construct for the Operating System.

Threads and delegates are two completely seperate things. A delegate is a like a variable for a function. In other languages they are called function pointers. These variables can reference one or more functions. Threads allow for multiple execution paths to in application to exist at the same time. So you can be doing more than one thing at the same time in your application.
