The original question was not type specific. I beleieve that the procedure is the same on all modern jet aircraft (certainly all Boeings), to leave the gear down during a windshear event. I was only stating one of the reasons for this on the 747, as that is the only aircraft of which I have any knowledge (apart from the VC10).
