One of the biggest problems with upgrading to a new operating system is driver support. It’s a major reason why Vista failed to take off (well, one of several reasons at least).
Fortunately, that doesn’t look like it will be a problem for Windows 8. Nvidia just announced that it has upgraded its GeForce graphics card drivers with an update specific to Windows 8. That means early adopters who have installed the Windows 8 Release Preview will be able to get the support they need for their GeForce graphics cards.
Since the drivers should only be used by people running the Windows 8 Release Preview, consider the new 302.80 driver to be Nvidia’s first foray into optimizing its graphics cards for Windows 8. As of now, the driver looks fairly stable, and although Nividia’s cards are still having a few minor problems with Windows 8, it’s fairly smooth for a beta version.

SimonInteresting that 25% of the market AREN’T iPads. That seulry means Android tablets.It seems like what happened in the smartphone arena, where the idiots in the media assumed Apple could never be touched there, despite better and cheaper Android products, the patten is happening again, offset by a year.Looking at a proper (Honeycomb) Android tablet, it’s streets ahead of what iPads deliver, and consumers are slowing waking up to this, that Android tablets are not just geek devices, sure they do some geeky stuff, but all the basics are like iPad, but better (Widgets for example on the desktop)
