Will the W8 update include the required drivers for cakewalk/roland/edirol hardware ?

We'll be handling SONAR software compatibility and testing, specifically.  Roland will release the driver updates separately when they are ready.

Thanks for the prompt response.

Will there definitely be drivers made available for all the hardware or will some be excluded as being "no longer supported" ?

Today A Microsoft official said he thought Windows 8 is not finished yet. This means it was a wize decision for Cakewalk to wait with official support for Windows 8.

That was the CEO of intel, and that is not a complete quote, AKA: FUD

Hahaha! What total BS (sorry!).
And ummm nor is Windows 7 finished, there are patches every month ;).
 
Yes the wise will probably wait for six months or a service pack, but those who are on XP are probably wise to bite the bullet and run upgrade to Win 8 (and ideally get a new PC with it) rather than go the Win 7 route and double their pain later (or better still, wait six months then upgrade to X2 and Windows 8 at the same time when bugs are fully ironed out with X2 AND Win 8).
 
Those on Win 7 who want to upgrade to Win 8 should ask themselves, are there any performance issues with their system? If not what's the point of upgrading to Win 8 other than it's "shiny" or gives them a performance increase that doesn't make any difference to them?

No one is going to release drivers until the official package is released which is scheduled for end of October.

Which doesn't really answer the question at all........ so I'll ask it (of CAKEWALK) once again....

... or wait a month and find out ...
