I just installed the FTDI drivers from Parallax a few days ago. Today, Windows Update wanted to install an optional ftdi driver update. The download size was listed but no other information was provided, so I didn't let it install.
The version at Parallax is still the same as what I downloaded last Friday (2.08.24). I checked at FTDI and sure enough a new version (2.08.30) was released 8/1/2013 and Windows Update correctly identified this. This is probably just minor update having to do with the Windows 8.1 release, since Linux and Mac OS X aren't changed, but I didn't bother to read the release notes.
I just thought I'd let you all know in case you didn't already.
