There were USB fixes with Windows update so nevertheless worth doing for people who haven't done it if they are using USB. Regardless of whether this is relevant or not my strategy is
always try to get people up to the same level/bass platform so it's easier to compare behaviours (avoids other unknown factors such as one person on a USB fix, whilst another isn't). Of course this is never an exact science as people are using different hardware and OS, but nevertheless it is helpful. Note driver may be dependant on code that has been updated via windows update (even away from USB fixes, windows driver model for instance, or layers of the operating system that interface between the HAL). This is a comparison exercise methinks esp if somebody has got it working.
