I dont think that you are able to change the display. It has nothing to do with the OS either. I've seen some that display packets and some that display bytes. I think that it is a matter of how the driver of the NIC communicates with the OS and what is available. You can display bytes in the task manager but they reset every time the task manager is closed. Task Manager is a diagnostic tool anyway and hardly a good option for just viewing packets over a long term basis unless for a good reason.

Must be the driver being able to switch from one display to another depending on the source then ... still isn't the OS though
