IMO, raising NotImplementedError is the correct behavior because they're not actually implemented. I wouldn't consider it a major issue either way, though. The only method that works on Windows is Etc.getlogin.

See the sys-admin library for a better, cross platform version of Etc.

This appears to be working; I received confirmation from Daniele Alessandri over Twitter that x64 version does not raise Notimplemented anymore.
