Intel released a new beta driver for processors with integrated graphics, for the Windows 8 Release Preview.

Detailed Description

Purpose:

This software driver package will install the beta graphics driver for the Intel® HD Graphics 3000/2000 & Intel® HD Graphics 4000/2500 for Windows 8* Release Preview.+
These beta drivers will not function with any other product. View the README file for installation information and the RELEASE NOTES for driver version details. This driver package contains version 15.28.0.64.2770 (9.17.10.2770) for Windows 8*. This package also includes the Video BIOS files. According to the license agreement, these preview drivers are provided "as is".

Usage:

These software drivers are generic versions and can be used for general purposes. However, computer original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) may have altered the features, incorporated customizations, or made other changes to the software or software packaging they provide. To avoid any potential installation incompatibilities on your OEM system, Intel recommends that you check with your OEM and use the software provided by your system manufacturer.
