    Guys,

    I was wondering something and would like to know your opinion as well.

    Since the M11X R3 is no longer available to buy, do you think that DELL is going to provide us drivers for the upcoming Windows 8?

    I've been testing the Windows 8 Enterprise and so far so good, all the available drivers works well, with the exception of the OSD driver, which causes a bug with Windows 8 own OSD.

    We are 3 weeks away from the launching day, and I was thinking if our beloved M11x would be supported.

    Truth being said, this little beast can run Windows 8 with all its whistles and bells, but to know that we would be receiving updated drivers would certainly make us a lot more comfortable using the new OS.

    What do you guys think?

    We have no information about that. You can keep checking on the website though. As soon as we get something about all platforms support we will probably post it on the main AW page here and on FB.
