Conducting some tests and comparisons between 3.0.3beta for windows

I noticed that the windows version does not seem to have the nessus

scanner installed ( plugin 10335 does not appear anywhere )
That's because of the limitations of the Windows XP TCP/IP stack
which performs rate-limiting on outgoing connections.
Therefore, the default (and only) port scanner is a SYN scanner,
which does not rely on Windows' TCP/IP stack.
