That's why you should not choose laptop, unless you want some trouble, or you want to heat up your hands.

Interesting! Thanks for the links

Yup, I wonder did Windows start support it native is a good choose or not, as it look like most OEM don't know about touchpad and touchscreen...

And I still waiting someone to review some precise touchpad, which is support native by Windows 8.1, to see can it compare with the fast respond(or good user experience) of Mac touchpad.

Well, it would be odd that so many PC manufacturers are so complacent when it comes to their software, including drivers, *but* you have to take in account how these larger corporations operate. They consider software an after-thought. It won't be until software is a priority that we ever get software worth a damn.

The good news is that every problem in the world is an opportunity for us small fries.

So, I guess they can just start handle it to Windows then, just like nearly all the Printer and USB that support native by Windows, and stop worry about maintaining the driver.
(And also lost control about "standard", just follow the Microsoft Standard, not sure this is good or bad. )

This is about the printer driver evolution with Hardware(or it should be firmware) standard, and I am a bit surprised when I don't need to install driver manually for printing. 
(even you still need to install the printer driver for advanced firmware and software feature for that printer)

The ones who do write their own drivers start with a Microsoft template, then progressively screw it up from there.

[BenYeeHua]

So, it is because the Microsoft template is too complex for them?
And I also forgot that Firmware is also a software, so even the driver don't has issues, the firmware can has some issues.
