Each instance of the CIM_Process class represents a single instance of a running program. A user of the OperatingSystem will typically see a Process as an application or task. Within an OperatingSystem, a Process is defined by a workspace of memory resources and environmental settings that are allocated to it. On a multitasking System, this workspace prevents intrusion of resources by other Processes. Additionally, a Process can execute as multiple Threads, all which run within the same workspace.
