That's correct - on most (if not all) *NIX implementations, you cannot bind to Post 80 except as a super-user. There's no equivalent restriction in Windoze.
However, once that binding is established, the process can Run As under a different user ID. This is typical of Apache installs on UNIX - mine is launched from root for the binding, but switches to a dedicated user ID to run under.
