[multithreading] What is the difference between a process and a thread?

The following is what I got from one of the articles on The Code Project. I guess it explains everything needed clearly.

A thread is another mechanism for splitting the workload into separate execution streams. A thread is lighter weight than a process. This means, it offers less flexibility than a full blown process, but can be initiated faster because there is less for the Operating System to set up. When a program consists of two or more threads, all the threads share a single memory space. Processes are given separate address spaces. all the threads share a single heap. But each thread is given its own stack.
