Microsoft Developer Network
Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) is the portion of Microsoft responsible for managing the firm's relationship with developers and testers, such as hardware developers interested in the operating system (OS), and software developers developing on the various OS platforms or using the API or scripting languages of Microsoft's applications.

Operating system
An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and software resources and provides common services for computer programs.

Paging
In computer operating systems, paging is a memory management scheme by which a computer stores and retrieves data from secondary storage for use in main memory.

Parent process
In computing, a parent process is a process that has created one or more child processes.

Process (computing)
In computing, a process is an instance of a computer program that is being executed.
New!!: Process identifier and Process (computing) · See more »
Protection ring
In computer science, hierarchical protection domains, often called protection rings, are mechanisms to protect data and functionality from faults (by improving fault tolerance) and malicious behaviour (by providing computer security).

System call
In computing, a system call is the programmatic way in which a computer program requests a service from the kernel of the operating system it is executed on.
New!!: Process identifier and System call · See more »
System Idle Process
In Windows NT operating systems, the System Idle Process contains one or more kernel threads which run when no other runnable thread can be scheduled on a CPU.

Thread (computing)
In computer science, a thread of execution is the smallest sequence of programmed instructions that can be managed independently by a scheduler, which is typically a part of the operating system.

Unix
Unix (trademarked as UNIX) is a family of multitasking, multiuser computer operating systems that derive from the original AT&T Unix, development starting in the 1970s at the Bell Labs research center by Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, and others.

Unix-like
A Unix-like (sometimes referred to as UN*X or *nix) operating system is one that behaves in a manner similar to a Unix system, while not necessarily conforming to or being certified to any version of the Single UNIX Specification.

User identifier
Unix-like operating systems identify a user within the kernel by a value called a user identifier, often abbreviated to user ID or UID.
