Follow on Google News | DriverEasy first service to announce full Windows 10 readiness of their 8 million driver databaseBy: DriverEasy After Windows Vista was launched, a class action was filed against Microsoft in 2007 because millions of computers running the new OS crashed on a regular basis. Evidence by Microsoft showed that nearly half of the crashes undisputedly happened due to hardware driver issues of only three vendors. For 28.8 percent NVIDIA driver problems were responsible, for 9.3 ATI and for 8.8 Intel drivers. Other third party drivers and applications not working properly caused 18.5 percent of the crashes. Eight years later Microsoft is about to launch Windows 10 and releases Windows 10 SDK so developers can start building universal Windows apps for every device running Windows 10. Moreover, the Windows Driver Framework becomes Open Source at the same time to reduce barriers for vendors. (3) It seems, the driver issue will be another big challenge for everybody who installs the free OS update. One driver for all devices from a 79 Dollar Nokia phone to a full scale all-in-one PC, will this work? Sounds nearly too good to come true. Until vendors have a chance to work with the new SDK, users of Windows 10 beta builds choose drivers for their hardware at their own risk anyway. (4)(5)(6) DriverEasy provides users with the appropriate and latest drivers for Windows 10 Finding a Windows driver manually takes forever. And sometimes users still don’t find what they need.
