It's very simple - this system was set up many years ago and I was
uncomfortable at the time with running Linux -- not with the stability
of Linux at the time and not with my skills administering it. The next
server that I will set up for production will be a Linux machine, but
until then I'm stuck with Windows.

I was using IIS as a web server for many years, until about five years
ago I "saw the light" and upgraded to nginx. Having nginx available for
Windows is a great thing because it serves as a stepping stone and
allows Windows users to make smaller changes to their systems rather
than one big change.

I agree that XP is out of the picture now, and the servers that I need
to support are 2008R2 which are built on the Vista code base so this
system call is supported.

Can you explain briefly how WSAPoll would help here?

Thanks,
