With Windows 8, there is more need to install third-party drivers to make the most of its USB 3.0 devices.
The head of the division Devices & Networking of Microsoft, Dennis Flanagan, addressed the issue of the support of USB 3.0 in Windows in a note published on the blog of the firm. An opportunity for him to confirm that if the computers running Windows 7 with USB 3.0 connectors must to go through the installation of third-party drivers, it will more be the case with Windows 8 will take support natively the SuperSpeed USB standard.
It is a further democratization of USB 3.0. Mother card manufacturers have globally all implemented ports to the new standard on their latest products, the external storage market players are also to be thrown into the bath, and there is more than to wait for that chipset natively manage USB 3.0 at Intel (planned for 2012) that the standard be comfortably installed in the marketchipset AMD took a small advance.
We note in passing that Microsoft did not take the problem lightly by choosing to completely rewrite the code of Windows dedicated to the support of the USB for Windows 8. It must be said that the current code is a repeatedly updated version of the module developed for Windows 95. Of course, all previous versions of the USB standard will continue to be supported. It should be noted that the forecasts on which Microsoft based, 99% of the PC should be compatible USB 3.0 in 2014.
