So the following article indicates the only value of using _beginthreadex/_endthreadex is that it handles signal correctly, see: http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/104641/en-us

Since the idea is to use the Visual Studio CRT as little as possible, I don't think it is of any value to use these functions.
