Updating the FAQ for a new version is not something that suddenly happens overnight, and we could do with more volunteers to help with it. Currently it is the effort of one person, who AFAIK does not even use Windows as his primary platform. I did add a note to the top of the FAQ when the release was made warning that the FAQ was mostly relevant to earlier versions. The points you raised are just scratching the surface of what needs changing, but it is good to get focused reports on suggested changes. It is probably best to discuss the contents of this FAQ on the help-emacs-windows mailing list, as it is not really a bug in Emacs, and of interest only to Windows users (if there are items in the FAQ with wider applicability, part of the updating process is to move them into the main Emacs FAQ).
