Not necessarily, you can open sockets on Windows so that they support 
read/write.  Just create it with

  fh = WSASocket (domain, type, protocol, NULL, 0, 0);

instead of socket.  Since Windows already has enough problems passing 
file descriptors to processes, imposing the above on an external 
management interface is not a huge chore.
