No, window size hasn't changed, but how we account for it has.
Appropriate Byte Count changes what constitutes a packet for increasing the 
congestion window.

Without ABC, the congestion window is increased by one after each successful
acknowledge during slow start.  With ABC, we don't increase the congestion 
window
until after you get an acknowledgement for the number of bytes in a full TCP
packet.  This means if you send small packets, the window will increase more
slowly, read the RFC.
