On vista, sockets work much like XP, I tested that.  Sockets are not
opened in a weird mode.  (I did not use libev in those tests; libev
could potentially act differently; depending on its code).  This was
mingw/XP and mingw/vista.  The same software also worked mingw/w7.

As for POSIX: it is not compatible, WaitforMultipleEvents is close, but
64 limit and requires the application to inform the event-code about the
return value of write calls.  (code uses network sockets).

So, I would say Marc is right.

Best regards,
