Your serial ports have drivers. If you happened to be using USB to
serial converters those driers *would have problems* with Windows 8.
The issue is with improper initialization on start-up because of the
quick boot (load a kernel image with drivers) feature in Win 8.
The kernel image does not properly initialize many current drivers.
Until that process can be modified to reinitialize the drivers or
the drivers be modified to self-initialize, there will be problems
in Windows 8.

My interface requires no drivers, just serial ports. The sound card does.
But that comes from Windows. I have had no problems with Win 98, Win XP,
Win Vista or Win 7 and if I need to talk to the support staff, I just talk
to myself. Nothing simpler, do it all the time.

All interfaces require a driver of some kind and Windows 8 (or some

drivers. Windows 8 is the new "Vista" and will have corporations
scrambling to retain Windows 7.

In fact, you need to *avoid Windows 8*. Windows 8 offers no benefits
for the typical desk/laptop user, has a completely confusing interface
and breaks a lot of hardware.

Yet another reason to avoid commercial interfaces that require a driver.
