Why the info 'A worker can handle no more than 1024 simultaneous connections' has been removed from http://nginx.org/en/docs/windows.html ?

The page in question doesn't try to document how to configure 
nginx on Windows for various production setups.  Rather, it tries to 
document that such setups are not really supported and should be 
avoided.

Certainly nginx is production is a good idea, just not on Windows.  
Expect nginx on Windows to be usable for tasks like testing and 
development, but not for production.  For production setups, 
consider switching to a Unix-like OS.
