nmap has been ported to NT, but not 9x as 9x doesn't have the needed raw
sockets (though a port supporting full TCP connect mode scanning might
be possible). NT4 and Win2k will require administrator rights to use
the raw sockets, same with XP Pro. XP home allows anyone to use raw
sockets (or so Gibson says; he made a huge fuss about it though so far
it's turned out to be not a big deal, still time for it to become one
though).

Hey Warren,
I don't get it, is it nmap itself or just a front end to nmap that still
has to run on a *nix system?
I haven't tried it myself, but I think it is a Nmap GUI (userspace) that
controls the Nmap service that runs in the background as the "System" user.
This may somehow have to do with the fact that not all Windows versions have
raw access to the network device, or non-Administrator users on NT4/2000/XP
do not have raw access.
