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.
