What an absolutely pathetic troll attempt. Even for a scumbag like you Roy
Schestowitz. What's next... Linux is better because the background color on
the installer is red instead of the blue that Windows has?

Windows doesn't have a ULIMIT. But it's trivial to limit the number of
"handles" for a user. By limiting the number of handles you've limited the
total number of processes, threads, open-files and other resources for the
user.

But otherwise yeah... I'm sure lots of "normal people" are going to start
using linux now because of the ULIMIT that can be set (although I don't know
of a single distro that has ULIMIT set at anything other than "unlimited" by
default.)
