My Book World Edition (white light) and Windows 8

Any idea when will be release the drives to My Book World (white) works with Windows 8?

That is unplanned at the moment.

We recommend getting a NAS supported on Windows 8.

You can see the current WD network drives on the link bellow:

This is the most unhelpful message ever.

I too have shelled out for a WD product and have now discovered that there are no drivers available for it to work on the latest version of the world’s most popular operating system.

I don’t mind waiting for drivers to be written and tested but I do object to being told that my device will no longer be supported BUT I COULD BUY A NEWER ONE FROM THE SAME COMPANY!  Are you mental?  How long will I be able to use that for until you tell me to chuck it out and buy another new product from you!

Goodbye Western Digital, that’s the last time I buy one of your poorly supported products.

Sorry for the mis-information.  Actually, My Book World (white light) is supported on Windows 8.
