That said, remember also that Windows does not have a waitv interface for futexes, their WaitForMultipleObjects cannot wait for futexes and have a limit of max 64 objects per call. Windows also got futexes some 10 years after Linux, which didn't stop the bastards from filing a patent for it anyway...
And in the end this is a convenience function, its not that it was impossible to wait on multiple objects in Linux before, just that you had to write your own notification handler for it.
