Not at all true any more.  Modern  Windows OS (Windows XP 

and up ) systems allows (near 100) processes to use the same 

IP / Port at the same time.

 

In fact, even the Windows admin's automation tool,

powershell.exe, on the command line, can use the 

same port that other Windows processes use!

 

Web Servers

Web Services

Databases

Commamnd line processes

 

All at the same time, on the same IP / Port!

 

Just and FYI
