Microsoft presented their findings related to window scaling (and  
several other TCP extensions) at the IETF TSVAREA meeting in Prague.  
See http://www3.ietf.org/proceedings/07mar/slides/tsvarea-3/sld3.htm  
and the two following slides. Summary: Window scaling is enabled in  
Vista, but limited to a factor of 2.

PPT slides are here: http://www3.ietf.org/proceedings/07mar/slides/
