Installed vanilla Windows 8.1 on my desktop computer yesterday - it had  
wrong resolution for about 5 minutes, then, on the fly, it installed the  
official Intel drivers and switched the resolution automatically. No  
restarts, no interaction from my side on this matter, nothing, it just  
worked.
