As far as I know, MS has only been orange book certified once - and that was for NT service pack 4 on one specific hardware platform (I forget which one). Contrast that to Novell which has a history of trying (and succeeding for the most part) of getting orange book certified on every release on every platform they run on.
Also, they should have learned from the Unix experience that implementing raw sockets was a brain-dead thing to do.

I think that was the Alpha version of NT if memory serves me right. I ran it (played around with it is more accurate) on one of my DEC Alphas as a Dual Boot a several years ago. I even have a PPC port of Windows NT which never made it out to the general public -- just a developer release -- I am sure that was not the secure one. :)
