GMA 3600 Driver for Windows 8

Dear community, dear Intel support,

2 Month ago, I decided to buy myself a tablet computer, simply because I wanted to use the new Microsoft Windows 8. I've found one with an Intel n2600 processor, a processor that was release about one year ago. Because it was shipped with Windows 7, I personally checked, and I got the information that all my system components would be compatible, from the official Microsoft website. When The computer then arrived, I installed the support assistant, which reconfirmed the Information I've already known: The Intel N2600 Processor with the GMA 3600 Chipset is fully compatible with Windows 8

The trouble came after the Installation: The problem wasn't even that the Driver wouldn't be working well, but the Graphicsdevice wasn't even recognizes! Long story short: There is NO WAY for me to get that device running, even though it't a very new device and I was told it was going to work.

No I know, it's a chipset that is built in a lot of computers, even in some very new ones. Because of that, I'm by far not the only one with this problem: There are a lot discussions going on right now, concerning the same problem. But maybe, it still isn't enough that Intel finally realizes that they need to follow the needs of their customer: The only thing we can do right now is to ask Intel to provide that Driver, over and over again that they will figure out that this really is a serious thing, and that it's concerning a lot more people than they actually might think.

By the way, here is a petition I've found: It's not me who created it, but I believe with things like that we can show how may we are, so please, take a moment and sign this petition: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/gma600/ Windows 8 support for Intel Atom Tablets

I hope you can all support me, and who knows, maybe Intel could do something about that?

Sincerely,

Imer

The GMA3600 driver support is far from great. Although I don't have Windows 8, but Linux, the feeling of being abandoned is the same.

There is petition requesting GMA 3600 Linux driver support.

Maybe this wakes Intel up. Spread the word!

Protip : Only install drivers that have a legit intel certificate, and download them from Intels site, before you get a virus.
