Of course they integrated much of the BSD sockets code. The copyright notices are visible in several of the .DLL and .EXE files, and probably others. Just scan the drive containing Windows for files containing "BSD" or "Regents" and they should pop right out. Nearly everyone has cribbed the BSD sockets code, because it's legal to do so under the BSD license and because they set the standard in TCP stack implementations.
