I havent found a way to verify the issue. so i take it fw800 is practically dead for pro-audio use?

Check out the links at the bottom of here.
It's not false, because Microsoft themselves put out a patch. Only, the patch doesn't work as well as reversion.
I'd trust the word of reputable firewire product manufacturers, such as RME, and the word of microsoft, over whatever your friend told you.

Since noone needs FW800 bandwidth for audio AFAIK, FW is very much alive, unless the standardised base samplerate increases to 192khz - then we'd need more. That's my opinion.
