It would be enough to mention famous file locks.

Except those file locks are more of a liability than an asset. They are
what prevent you from continuing to use a Windows system while it is being
updated, for example.

The reason why processes are not included is that they are used to deal
with some OS or design flaw that forces you to spawn some script or
application.

Or because the *nix tradition of being able to spawn a pipeline of
multiple processes, all cooperating to perform a common task, is difficult
and expensive, or even unreliable, under Windows.
