But they (M$) /don't/ write the drivers. The hardware (cpu, chipset)
makers supply a set of basic drivers to M$ which are WHQL tested then
added to the hardware device information repository so that Windows can
install the correct drivers during installation. They tend to be very
vanilla with no bells or whistles, just enough to get the hardware
recognised and initialised.
So, as far as I can see, the problem is Intel is refusing to produce
Skylake (and supporting chipset) drivers for OSes pre-dating Windows 10.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if there has been a cosy little shack-up
between Intel and M$ to deliberately not support older OSes so that M$
benefits from a larger Win10 install base. God knows they're pushing it
hard enough.
And to those running Windows 10: You are an idiot. That is all.
