Alright,

It was already established that i was exagerating when i said 100000 processes, i dont know why you would bring that up again.

The fact of the matter is that It is much harder to cause a windows system to lock up, or become sluggish then it is to do the same to a linux box.

Try using a DoS that works on any os, like any type of fragmentation re-assembly problem. On a windows box your mouse can freeze in place, while your mp3's continue playing for some retarded reason. There's priorities for ya!

However, the same attack on a linux box, (assuming that it's not a total peice of trash) wont give the same effect.
I tried just this, over a network, and found that while my windows box froze in place until the attack was halted, the linux side of the same computer was quite alright, the cpu utilization went to 100, and the drives seemed to be randomly seeking for some possibly un-related reason, but i remained quite in control of my box.

P.S. The EDVAC that i used to do that test could run more then 66536 processes,
haha, im only kidding for those of you that cant tell.
