Unix used to provide a boot protocol for booting over the network. It predated linux, I'm pretty sure, and AFAIK, it worked with windows as well. You don't know very far here. Or can you share what protocol it is, specifically, and how do you create a netbooted installtion of Windows?
I have seen a TFTP boot of a Windows installer.
That's not surprising given that PXE is based on TFTP and it does not matter *what* you are booting over LAN via PXE, you end up loading it with TFTP. And PXE is the industry standard network boot protocol today.
It was slow, but it worked. I was not involved in setting it up, and I have no idea of the internals.
