    Now why would they do that if they intend to discontinue the M11x? :) I smell a pie in the oven.

    Windows 8 ;)

    I just tried installing them and they wouldn't take, I get it's for Windows 8.

    Just confirmed by changing OS selection, Batboy, you may want to update your post to state these are Windows 8 drivers..........while the BIOS is also taylored for Windows 8, it can be installed on Win 7 systems.
