Here are a list of updates that Microsoft has on the page:

Prineter companies are the least of the worries. You have Scanners, Gfx cards, Other USB devices, Webcams, Digital Cameras. all these devices need some form of driver or another.

To bad most companies dont support Beta software to create the drivers needed...
