For some reason I'm having trouble loading Vijay's link so I'm not sure what it says. However the answer is that there's no difference between the two statements; the second one is just shorthand for the first. In the first case the compiler can see immediately that you're calling the overload of the Thread class constructor which takes a ThreadStart delegate. In the second case it looks at SomeMethod realizes it's compatible with the ThreadStart delegate and so infers that you mean new ThreadStart(SomeMethod). If I remember correctly the shorthand form was introduced in C# 2.0 - it wasn't in the original release - and so may not be mentioned in some early books or articles.
