Nice report. As expected, Microsoft tightened the screw further with regards to "security" and signed drivers. Obviously, I'm pleased the Windows 8 cat signing issue was sorted by libwdi before it became a real world issue.
Note that I'm also one of the few who purchased Windows 8 and actually decided to run it as primary OS on real hardware (thankfully not my development machine). Haven't had much of a chance to test libusbx and corollaries on that system so far, but looking at the new Storage Spaces feature, which is the ONLY reason I purchased 8, it's pretty [1] clear [2] that Windows 8 was a rushed job. Not that I mind it that much though, as next time someone wants to point to libusbx lacking thorough testing with new releases, we'll have a nice example to demonstrate that well known and well financed proprietary software can also suffer from the exact same issues. As to RT, I'll just point that it's possible to compile libusbx for ARM [3]. Last time I tried with VS2012, it seemed to produce ARM binaries alright, but since Microsoft decided to go all Apple in terms of pricing and control of RT hardware, I doubt there's going to be much point trying to test on a closed/defective by design platform...
