Put all the discussions into sections of their own - and fix the indentation of one item that doesn't follow up to the item above it.
In-process vs. out-of-process object sharing: No, OLE/COM are different sorts of entities than ELF (or PE).

I thin also this should reference [[OLE]] [[Object linking and embedding]], which I think may embody the MS way and Maybe [[Component Object Model]] Where the [[*nix]] way is more of a [[Process model]] or some such. [[User:Quinobi|Quinobi]] 21:19, 9 July 2005 (UTC)
 
:Executable image formats have nothing to do with object linking models. One could implement OLE and COM using ELF (and COM objects can be "in-process", linked into the address space of the calling process, or "out of process", running in a separate address space in a separate process); I'm not sure what "the [[*nix]] way is more of a [[Process model]] or some such" means, but if you're referring to pipelines, that can be implemented with the Windows [[Portable Executable]] format and, in fact, if the [[Windows NT]] command interpreter implements the pipe operator by building a Unix-style pipeline, somebody, namely Microsoft, ''did'' implement pipelines with processes running code in PE format.
