While the drivers have been withdrawn, FTDI are saying their replacement drivers will still contain code to make sure alternative devices still do not work under Windows.

Microsoft should tell them to get lost with any driver updates that stops equipment working. When Windows users start getting worried about driver updates and patches, MS will get the reputation hit with the fallout from unpatched systems.
