As I've said before, I recall reading that a new driver had been written for W8.
Unless, of course, Michael was running an unpatched version of windows straight from the DVD. Which now that i think of it, he does for linux systems.

That's in cross-distro tests, comparing Fedora, to Ubuntu, to etc... - when he's specifically checking mesa updates, obviously that brings in the new versions directly.
As for the windows updates - you're correct about wddm 1.2 being win8 exclusive. MS backported some of the new win8 api into win7 with the IE10 prerequisite system update, but that didn't include wddm 1.2. However, that wouldn't be unprecedented - they did backport 1.1 from windows 7 into Vista. I believe that's what i was thinking of.
