Microsoft Throws Intel Under the Bus for Windows 10 on Atom Cloverview Updates
-
So I don't understand something. The drivers/firmware that Intel released that work with 1607 aren't compatible with some change MS made to Windows for 1703?

They won't test them, I assume, and MS won't just "release old drivers and hope for the best."

Intel, it's Intel's job to test in the MS word.

I assume you mean MS World.
In otherwords, Intel is paying MS a ton of money to test the old processors, so Intel looks like the bad guy.

Huh?

I meant Isn't.
As I understand it, vendors submit drivers, etc to MS, along with a bag of money, MS tests the stuff, then adds it to their driver store.
So you're saying Intel isn't paying MS to test anymore, because Intel considers it no longer supported.

I don't believe that that is true. I think that the vendors have to make and validate their drivers and then pay for them to be signed. I'm unaware of MS doing the testing.

No, you are saying that. I said nothing of the sort.

If you make hardware, you test and sign the driver. Here is the doc:
