Snort Newbie questions regarding Win2k vs Linux/Unix

["Mohsin Aziz" <maziz () nylex net>]

Hi,
I finally got snort and acid working on a win2k box. Snort is logging nicely
to the Mysql database and  acid seems to be doing a good job as well. I even
got the experimental graphical displays working too!! But I have another
machine with RH 7.1 and Snort already running on it. I'd like to get acid
working on it as well but before I take off and burn 20 or so hours messing
with this stuff I would like to know exactly what is being lost by using
Snort on a Win2K (M$ platform) box.

Specifically I'd like to be able to use SPADE but I haven't seen it
available in win32 flavor, are there any plans for that or is it even
possible?

On Linux I can run snort on an interface without an IP address, is that
possible on win32 platforms?

Are there any rules or attacks which are not recognized on win32 platforms?

I know there is that whole debate of "M$ Vs. The Universe" but I'd like to
stay focused on Snort so the list monitors don't have to use their scissors.
Thank you.

Mohsin~
