Not quite true. Under NT, both winsock1 and winsock2 do support RAW SOCKETS,
but only to administrators.

The executable from this code (extract from a ping programme) produces error=0
when run by administrator, but error code 10013 (WSAEACCES) when run by
non-admin:

#include <winsock.h>
#include <stdio.h>

SOCKET icmp_open(void) {
  SOCKET s = socket (AF_INET, SOCK_RAW , IPPROTO_ICMP);
  printf("socket(type=SOCK_RAW, protocol=IPROTO_ICMP), Error code: %d \n", 
WSAGetLastError());		
  if (s == SOCKET_ERROR) {
    return (INVALID_SOCKET);
  }
  return (s);
} 

int main(){
  WSADATA wsaData;
  SOCKET a;
  if (WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(1, 1), &wsaData) != 0)
     return 255;
  a=icmp_open();
    WSACleanup();
    return 0;
}
