Well,not totally false...
There's not a way to connect with NCU under Windows via ethernet, AFAIK. That's pretty much Mac only, or does UNIXNPI support it too now? Short answer is: for package installing packages, importing/exporting or backing up over ethernet = Mac only. TCP/IP and other fun stuff is platform indpendant.
As for the FAQ, if it's mine (http://www.newted.org/~1f2frfbf/answers.html) I really haven't kept it up to date with the myriad of connection options to occur in the past year, if someone wants to expand on it, be my guest.
later,
