What I meant to say was in the context of this patch, i.e. Windows specific. I would not remove parallel port support altogether, but I suggest to disable it for Windows (both x86 and x64), and remove the windows folder. As I said, my biggest gripe is with giveio.sys. IMHO, applying this patch would be a step into the wrong direction. > Only on Windows, you need hacks like Zadig in order to assign a device explicitly to libusb or other drivers. Actually, I wanted to bring the whole thing around libusb support on Windows up for discussion. Perhaps we will find some common ground here. I will start a separate thread on this some other time.
