Under Windows NT, 2000, XP, and Server 2003, applications can not handle interrupts. Interrupt handling is reserved for device drivers. Typically, a device driver will handle an interrupt and then signal an event. An application will have a worker thread waiting on that event. It isn't real-time, but it is safer than allowing applications direct access to hardware.
