"Also, because TransmitFile is geared toward server applications, it is fully functional only on server versions of Windows. On home and professional versions, there may be only two outstanding TransmitFile (or TransmitPackets) calls at any given time. If there are more, then they are queued and not processed until the executing calls are finished."
It's not as official as MSDN I guess, but at least it's published by them. The article appears to be XP era.

Here is an interesting link to a problem someone encountered running Apache
on Windows. If he's right there is little hope for Apache to ever run
properly on newer versions of Windows.

If I am not mistaken, I seem to recall that TransmitFile() is artifically limited to serving no more than 10 TCP connections on non server editions of Windows. I've not actually tried it myself.
