Yup,
I asked them but they told me they are waiting laptops that comes with DDR4 ("much longer support since it's the beginning of").
Since I'm aware that they have to make their own "production tests", I will surely have to wait at least a year from now...
Dang! How hard would be for them to install a driver for you? And how much would the cost of providing adapters and installing the drivers cost compare to lost productivity? They are going to be waiting a while for DDR4 to come to laptops and most desktop machines. Right now, only the expensive X99 MOBOs use DDR4.
Not that hard as you said. But their logic is about not buying something that will only last a year and then go garbage.
Plus, the cheapest WiFi 5Ghz USB adapter is around 24$ . Since we are 2000 people in the same building at least, that would cost much more than the 6$ difference between DDR4 and DDR3 (4GB value, single stick).
I don't think you're going to get an answer for this. Maybe try contacting MS and ask what wifi adapters have drivers built-in to Windows?
If you know this one will work, why don't you buy it?the only truest plug-and-play WiFi adapter known to me is the Intel WifiLink 5100 (no OEM Tool/manual internet download, no CD and no Windows Update).
