Which is fine and all, but still doesn't say much about whether a Windows 7 
compatible version of the ISOC WinUSB driver could be sorted out, if Microsoft 
really wanted to...
libusbK seems to be doing ISOC on Windows 7 without too much trouble, so it's 
hard to be convinced that the OS is the real limitation.

So long compatibility with previous platforms...

Between this and the oh-so-suspicious absence of an SP2 for Windows 7 (which of 
course would be a great place to push dependencies for an updated WinUSB 
driver), it does look like Microsoft if trying hard to neglect Windows 7 users 
in a (desperate?) attempt to have them upgrade to 8.x...
