Interesting, but I'm fairly certain that KS still exists in Vista, and tht Microsoft knows about it, because with the Benchmark DAC1 USB I am using Microsoft's USB driver. :-)
By the way, the lead engineer for the Benchmark DAC1 USB (which is probably the most well-known DAC in the world, and is often credited with getting a large number of audiophiles really interested in high-quality DACs in the first place) has a very, very long (38 pages?) thread about the latest version of the DAC (which supports USB input) of the DAC at Head-Fi.org in which he discusses many of the technical details about the DAC and the decision to go with the standard Microsoft drivers (which he claims are much better than most people realize and that the problems most people are seeing with them are usually the fault of the hardware in question, further explaining that their DAC1 USB is the first and only DAC, at this point at least, that is able to support 96K output using these drivers). Anyway, the thread is worth looking at and contains some solid information from a well-respected professional, rather than the seemingly endless speculation and theories from amateurs and laymen so common on internet audiophile websites.
