The chances that Ethereal 0.10.7 will make any difference whatsoever as 
to which versions of WinPcap work better with which versions of Windows 
are very slim, because that's a WinPcap issue.  Ethereal just uses 
libpcap/WinPcap and relies on it (libpcap/WinPcap) to handle the details 
of packet capture on a particular OS.

If you're having problems with particular versions of WinPcap and 
particular versions of Windows, you should try to reproduce them with 
WinPcap (to make sure there are no Ethereal issues) and then report them 
to the WinPcap developers.
