I'm not an expert, but it seems to me that actually Mac OS X is 
superior in this respect to Windows. By default, neither supports 
expiry of local user passwords; however, Mac OS X fully supports 
OpenLDAP and Kerberos, as well as (at least in Tiger) Active Directory, 
and password expiry is available in all three. But this is a feature 
which would be implemented by the network admin, not by the local user.
