Accepted answer

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.
