Count me in too.
Windows 8 has default drivers, but it will only operate as USB 2.0, so please don't say Windows 8 already comes with Intel USB 3.0 drivers. I tested it with several USB 3.0 devices that I have. In the device manager, it shows as "Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller - 0100 (Microsoft)", but that's just the name. When I actually copy anything, it's slow as USB 2.0.
All Ivy Bridge powered laptops have the same problem because they use Intel's USB 3.0. We need the drivers!!!
I can't believe manufacturers are selling Windows 8 laptops, and none of them will have a USB 3.0 speed until a proper driver release from intel.
