Good!

AFAIK, Windows can't forward their events to any other host. They can,
however, be periodically exported with eventdmp.exe in the Resource Kit
(if my memory serves me well) to a text file.

I think Windows is pretty poor wrt logging. You can configure the
retention policy for individual logs (System/Security/Applications) and,
with the help of Group Policy or regedit tweaks, you can change the
level of audit, but nothing more.

Yes! It's Windows the one which doesn't make sense! ;)
