I agree we should not let the Windows TCP stack behavior dictate the
approach, but just wanted to point out that it's not just Windows 8
that lacks timestamps. It's more that Windows 7 is about the only
sizable Windows deployment that does use timestamps. Windows NT,
Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 8 all do not use
timestamps by default, and that adds up to about 30-40% of Internet
clients, depending on who's measuring. Something to keep in mind.
