I purchased Unblue's driver because having it find and update hardware drivers was much more accurate and convientent than doing it manually.
The following drivers were marked as "ancient"
Intel(R) 82574L Gigabit Network Connection
PCI Bus
VMware Pointing Device
Obviously I will make a snapshot of the VM (espcially since its a Windows 8.1 Enterprised Preview with a nested Windows 7 Hyper-V machine.
However I wondering if these detections are jus spurious or if they are in fact updatable drivers (in whihc case one wonders whether VMware has tested the new drivers and will update them upon WS 10 release
Results. No loss in functionally but no appreciable gain either. Whether or not Unblue actually downloaded files from the VMware servers I leave upl to you guys or another department
