I see most of the types in .NET framework are spread across 3 different namespaces (may be more), one start with Microsoft, other with System and the third with Windows.
For example there is Windows.System.Threading.ThreadPool and System.Threading.ThreadPool.
Is there a clear cut semantic difference on this design?

The namespace keyword is used to declare a scope that contains a set of related objects. You can use a namespace to organize code elements and to create globally unique types.
Namespaces are used to organize the classes. It helps to control the scope of methods and classes in larger . Net programming projects. In simpler words you can say that it provides a way to keep one set of names(like class names) different from other sets of names.
Microsoft.* namespaces are typically .NET namespaces for features which are specific to Windows, e.g. registry access
System.* namespaces are "normal" .NET system namespaces
Windows.* namespaces are typically part of Windows Runtime aka WinRT (for Windows 8 store apps, Windows Phone 8)

Windows, is for Windows8 family SDK.
System is for common .NET namespases.
Microsoft is for some windows specific OS features.
