Any word if the current Flex firewire driver will work with Windows 10?

    Not having tried it... and knowing next to nothing abou tthe Flex Firewire driver... but knowing a little something about Windows drivers in general, I can tell you that if it runs on Windows 8.1 there's no reason it won't run on Windows 10.  Modulo, it being horribly written or using some strange edge-case function that's removed in Windows 10... neither of which seems too very likely.

    Windows does a very good job of maintaining driver compatibility from version to version.  Heck, there are drivers that worked under Windows 2000 that still run correctly today on Windows 8.1

    Testing so far with the preview versions shows that it does work.  But we'll have to wait until the final release to know for certain.

An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
