found out that Windows 8 would kill the USB3 on my Z77X-UD5H motherboard, you would think Intel would be aware of this and make a driver in time. I'll have to wait before I can evaluate 8. Heck USB 3 works just fine in 7 and OSX 10.8.2.

Is this the reason Intel CEO said in one of his internal meeting that MS ship Win8 with bugs, then patch later?

I don't think it is the hardware manufacturer's responsibility here. MS is the one selling the new OS.
