Hm, just did that.  While reading up on nmap, I saw this:

  "TCP Initial Window -- This simply involves checking the window
   size on returned packets.  [...]  In their "completely rewritten"
   TCP stack for NT5, Microsoft uses 0x402E.  Interestingly, that is
   exactly the number used by OpenBSD and FreeBSD."

Gee, I wonder how that happened...
