Windows 8/10 will be bringing native support for USB 3.0 controllers. This is in contrast to previous versions of Windows, which continue to
require separate drivers for USB 3.0 controllers.
Microsoft announced that Windows 7 would have USB 3.0 support, perhaps not on its immediate release, but in a subsequent Service Pack
or update. It is not out of the question to think that following a successful release of USB 3.0 support in Windows 7, SuperSpeed support
would trickle down to Vista. Microsoft has confirmed this by stating that most of their partners share the opinion that Vista should also
support USB 3.0.
Super-Speed support for Windows XP is unknown at this point. Given that XP is a seven-year-old operating system, the likelihood of this
happening is remote.
