MS has made the "Intel" editions work with Windows 7 drivers. So they have definitely put more effort into drivers than ever before. Airprint (or whatever the Windows equiv is) printers all function driverless now so I'm not terribly worried. You can even install some kind of driver console on an actual computer to turn a network or USB printer into a airprint compatible printer as well. Keyboard and mouse drivers have operated "driverless" for years and years now. I'm not really sure there is any hardware you would want to use with a highly portable tablet that actually requires much in the form of drivers anymore.
