Microsoft SUA supports BSD sockets. In Ipv6, no less. But that's neither here nor there and thanks for the mini lesson on NT personalities. I am not a NT guy.

I am sure that we all can agree at this point that POSIX has no relevance any more if your concern is about portable software. It still may be useful for some API lawyering, but besides that it is entirely insufficient for most software.
