On Windows, sockets are completely independent from file descriptors.

A socket id can be large (typically over 1000), fortunately a fd_set is not indexed by descriptors; FD_SET just appends the socket descriptor to the array; there is a limit of 64 sockets, but no limit on the value of a descriptor.
