AFAIK there is no equivalent in Windows. Well, we enforce RLIMIT_RTTIME mostly because we can, not because it would really inhibit all kind of RT-related misbehaviour of the clients. Or in other words: RLIMIT_RTTIME is quite useful as a protection against programming errors somewhre, however it is still easily circumventable by people who really try to do evil things, unless combined with other tricks, such as SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK.
