USB 2.0 technology and drivers are subject to licensing by Microsoft (and other companies). This licensing means that they can only be distributed with new USB 2.0 devices and controllers, with Microsoft software, by Microsoft via the internet or by manufacturers of the USB 2.0 PCI card or device. VIA has of course worked with Microsoft and other manufacturers to develop driver support for VIA’s VT6202 and VT6212 USB 2.0 controllers but due to licensing issues, the support for the drivers is the responsibility of device manufacturers, PCI card manufacturers & Microsoft.
