> Of course, all Windows APIs are terrible, but that doesn't make complaints about fork() any less legitimate. The concept of Establishing empty processes, instead of cloning yourself, is much more sane.

I like the ease with which you can pass resources and data to the forked child from the parent, though. Otherwise I'd have to do a lot of serialiation and deserialization, or use shared memory, or unix sockets to pass fds, all of which also has it's gotchas and is way more complicated and error prone.
