SQL Server client and setup Hangs windows 7 appcompat article..

HI ,

the article :

The changes to behavior of the GetOverlappedResult API, which SQL Server client drivers use for performing network reads and writes, is described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd371711(VS.85).aspx. When SQL Server client drivers get the new Windows behavior of GetOverlappedResult, they will reliably hang as soon as the network connection is opened. So, when using ADO.Net, you would notice that the thread hangs as soon as your application calls SQLConnection.Open(). This also applies to other client drivers, like the SQL Server Native Client 10.0. Since SQL Server’s setup includes making connections to the database instance to perform various T-SQL queries, this may also cause a hang during SQL Server setup. It sounds like a serious problem.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?DOES IT MEANS SQL SERVER WILL BE SLOW ON THESE SYSTEM? WHAT IS THIS API?.SHOULD I UPDATE MY HW TO WIN SERVER 2008?
