Microsoft Windows OSs are not the only ones that provide an spawn function in order to launch new processes, i.e.: OpenVMS, OS/400

I removed the comment that 'the rest of this article is about the Microsoft Windows spawn functions' and changed heading levels to collect the Windows parts under an L2 heading so we can add other L2 headings for different OSes. RJFJR ( talk) 13:10, 13 August 2011 (UTC) reply
