Microsoft Windows
Under Microsoft Windows operating systems, one can get the current process' ID using GetCurrentProcessId API, and ID of other processes using GetProcessId API. Internally, process ID is called a client ID, and is allocated from the same namespace as thread IDs, so these two never overlap. The so-called System Idle Process is given process ID 0, and System Process is given process ID 4.

Famous quotes containing the word windows:
“—and then it was
There interposed a Fly—
With Blue—uncertain stumbling Buzz—
Between the light—and me—
And then the Windows failed—and then
I could not see to see—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
