parent / child processes

Process A creates another process B. Process A then dies, but process B still has the PID of process A marked as its parent process. Later on, a process C starts and is randomly assigned the PID that process A was originally assigned.

Are there any security or other implications of this happening?

It's not a troll. NT really does have a superior architecture and design. To give one excellent example, look at NTFS permissions compared to the ones your standard Unix filesystem. So much more flexible and with beautiful hierarchy.
