Most of the other commenly used os'es are based on Unix. But Windows is entirely different than unix . Total number of processor support is not only to measure the superiority. Windows kernel can also tweaked to support more CPU cores if needed. Windows is another architecture different than that of UNIX. Most of the other commenly used os’es are based on Unix.

The values can be tweaked, and single system images up to 1024 dual core CPUs (not clustered) with 4TB RAM, have been created as of <a href="http://news.softpedia.com/news/Largest-Linux-Single-System-Image-in-the-World-by-NASA-61106.shtml" rel="nofollow">last August</a>. Those patches are available as required by the GPL, if you want to run your own large scale system. These limitations are for the “vanilla” (out-of-the-box) Linux system.
