Actually thanks to BSD style sockets, the code the would work in linux generally also works on every Unice like machine, DOS and Windows. The only two WSA socket calls I make when using sockets in Windows is WSAStarup() and WSAShutdown() which are absolutely required to intialize and clean up the socket subsystem.

So really that article will give you a great start with Sockets coding in windows two, as long as you mind your type safety, and can figure out who to link the socket libraries in both operating environments.
