BSD-based unixes implement pipes using socketpair(), so
pipes actually *are* sockets (or at least they used to be,
not sure whether it's still true).
But not on Linux; a visible difference is that pipes are half-duplex on
Linux (it seems that's enough for POSIX). I don't know for sure how
they're implemented on Windows but they seem to be file system objects
(they use functions like CreateFile, ReadFile, WriteFile, etc.)
