OS Detection Question

I have searched the net looking for a definitive answer to this question but have come up dry.

QUESTION:
Is there a way to completely fool (or block) OS detection from scanners (like nmap, queso, etc.) using the Linux OS? 
What about Windoze?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

John
