If true, your a star warped_foobie, at least it gives us a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel, that's all we ask for!

I got the same problem.

Hopefully intel can give us a beta driver for win 8 as soon as possible!

Thanks!

Yep agreed, even just a beta would be great just as long as we could get Metro apps to run.

So, come on Intel, AMD is faster than you guys!

I am all about hopes and all guys.  And I heard a similar comment from Intel engineer about Aug (or late summer) GMA 3600 driver in his words.   However, they have been saying the same thing about 64bit driver (I only seen a bad beta from 2011) and XP driver since beginning of the year.   I have also heard that the Cedar Trail team has been disbanded since Valley view (the supposed successor of Cedar Trail) is in heavy development and many guys are transferred to beef up that team.   What to believe? know I don't believe in Intel any more.

Given Intel's dismal graphic driver support and always late release, Microsoft would be foolhardy to count on Intel for the initial phase of Windows 8.  Think about it: by the end of the year,  Ivy bridge is really the only processor that is W8 ready. But Ivy bridge is not the ideal tablet processor, both for power consumption and cost.  Clover Trail coming out on time would be end of year (not bloody likely) and it is runs that good old PowerVR 5 series that gives many Atom such bad rep (GMA 500, 600, 3600 3650).   Cedartrail would be a nice low power alternative for tablet that Windows 8 is targeting  but hey where is Carmen SanDiego, I mean driver?

Windows 8 support for Intel Atom Tablets

They cant even make Win7 work OK and you're wanting Win8?....better not hope for anything before Christmas...

Any updates, guys. Especially warped_foobie?  Please share us what you hear from OEM as those of us who invested own and company resources on this chip are desperate for new drivers.

Good jobs Q550.  Keep the pressure on the Intel.  A quick search of GMA 500, 600 and GMA 3600 and driver discussion on Google is like an AMD advertisement.

Are you listening Intel? 

Thanks for the Linux drivers Intel, but we are still waiting for some Win8 support also!

Moving this thread to the Graphics Forum as this forum is for Beta Driver discussion.

Looks like the middle finger Mr. Linus gave to Intel when asked about Intel Graphic Card driver support Linux moved things a little bit.  Perhaps we could get Gates and Ballmer do a double middle fingers to Intel and see what gives.

Anyone managed to get these newer 8.14.8.1082 version drivers to install on Win8?

Obviously OEM from Toshiba, so you may or may not have luck...

Actually just tested the 8.14.8.1082's myself (had to mod the .inf a little to get them to install), but they don't solve anything under Win8 yet unfortunately, Metro apps still won't run etc.

They did however solve some OpenGL regressions though which had been broken since 8.14.8.1065, so small steps in the right direction again...

thanks for the update PA.  Everywhere I see threads on GMA frustration, I see your name. 

since it is dated 6/25.  i guess we still pin our unsubstantiated hope on the rumored Aug release?  If hope is the most powerful narcotic as someone once said, then Intel is turning its ATOM customers into drug addicts.
