Indeed they do. In fact, it's not really the recommendation that 
changes, but APIs that are added to new Windows releases. In the
specific case, Windows 8 adds an API called "Registered IO" (RIO).
They (of course) do these API addition in expecting some gain,
and then they (of course) promote these new APIs as actually achieving
the gain.

In the socket APIs, the Unix world went through a similar evolution,
with select, poll, epoll, kqueue, and whatnot.

The rate at which they change async APIs is actually low, compared
to the rate at which they change relational-database APIs (ODBC,
ADO, OLEDB, DAO, ADO.NET, LINQ, ... :-)
