Thankfully, Android device outnumber Windows 8 installs by... something like 1,000 to 1, right? I throw a huge "doesn't matter" to whatever Windows's TCP stack decides to do. It absolutely should not dictate whether we decide to make use of this or that feature of TCP. It's a bit player at best. So if Windows 8 is the reason you're saying we shouldn't use timestamps for anything, you're wrong.
