It isn't the TCP/IP stack proper, it's SMB/CIFS. With Windows 6 versions (Vista/Server 2008), they have a new implementation (SMB 2.0) designed for higher-throughput links. However, it only kicks in when both hosts support it.
Between my Vista/Server2008 boxes with decent drives/arrays, I now see >110MB/s sustained, both at home and at work. This is all without jumbo frames, and at home, over cheap switches and crummy integrated Realtek garbage NICs.
