CPU Hogged

Help, I've got a problem with Terminal Server. Sometimes one user does something that makes his program get busy and it hogs the CPU. Then the other users have to wait. (Their programs run real slow or are blocked.)

I've said it before and I'll say it here too: use ProcessGovernor (http://www.processgovernor.com). It will probably fix a lot of the performance troubles that the other users on this forum post.
It's easy to install and configure. It stops busy processes blocking other processes by dynamically adjusting their priorities. Then the well behaved processes continue running basically unaffected and the remaining CPU time (usually high) is given to the busy process.
All applications get busy at one point or another so it's almost essential to use this tool on terminal servers to keep them running effeciently. It can however make sense on workstations too.

The users are using a database application that gets busy when filling listboxes with data from an imprecise query.

Problem is fixed with ProcessGovernor. Thanx.
Can anyone tell me why this isn't build into Windows? Doesn't Linux have something like this? I'm told that in Linux a process can't use all the CPU resources and block other processes.
