Agreed. You and I both know that someone could write the drivers for that, but the question is - will they be allowed to? Could such a thing be done out in the wild?
It's a problem that I'm thankful I don't have, but certainly there are millions of people around the world being affected by this OS upgrade. Seems that someone could do what's necessary to fix it.
I think the manufacturer figures there's no money in maintaining the drivers for the quirks in their less recent models. I wouldn't mind paying for driver upgrades to new operating systems, but apparently that isn't their business model.
