Hello, > How does this work; do these chips now come with the "windows update" > PIDs, and the silabs drivers then reprogram them to use other PIDs once > installed? > The way this works is that the chips still come with the standard SiLabs IDs. When the chip is integrated into an end-user product, the product manufacturer has the choice to reprogram the IDs. If they are left on the factory standard setting, the user will have to install drivers manually (go to SiLabs website, search, download, install by hand). Alternatively, the product manufacturer can reprogram the IDs to the "new" ones for Windows Update before shipping it to the customer, in which case Windows will automatically find, download, and install the drivers when plugged in the first time.

It seems you prefer to just adjust the commit message for now, otherwise let me know if you'd like me to resubmit.
