Im not sure about the others, but I think this one is worthy of note
here as it is a real limitation of windows that is not apparent to
non expert users. And a whole lot of windows users already use their
machine to gateway other devices to the internet. But I might re-word
slightly

Windows users need to enable ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) to
achieve the similar functionality. Due to limitations in ICS windows
can only forward one interface in this manner. If you forward a USB
connected device this will disable any other network forwarding you
have setup.

But feel free to ignore me as you do a better job of manual than I.
