no it isn't. GLUT might be though.

does everyone need "fast 3d rendering"? You can write some pretty fancy GUI applications without it. And he's doing network programming not Halo-N. A few buttons and forms and maybe a histogram or line graph would seem about it for network programming GUI. How complicated can you make BOOTP!

Windows has its own socket interafec that is just slightly different from BSD (and I assume Posix). Just enough to be irritating. A fairly thin wrapper can hide the differences.
