This isn't really the case. Windows NT and 2000 certainly do require
permissions as Unix systems do. Every time any process touches a file, the
operating system checks permissions. Most of the time, with standard Windows
NT/2000 installs, this isn't much of an issue simply because permissions are
very broadly granted, but the permissions are still there. CF runs with a
specific set of rights, and must have read/execute permissions on .cfm
files.
Martin Herbener, a frequent contributor to this list, has written a good
discussion of configuring permissions for CF on NT:
