I don't remember exactly when MS got religion but you'll see a number of 
POSIX functions that were supported with a disclaimer:

This POSIX function is deprecated. Use the ISO C++ conformant _xxxx instead.

It would be interesting to look under the hood to see if anything really 
has changed. Life would be simpler if MS had been fully POSIX and ISO 
compliant all along.

Also, as you mention, they got into sockets relatively late, did it 
their own way, and it doesn't always work the way you expect. It keeps 
cross platform work interesting.
