Win8 problem and brain problem (installed Clip+ firmware on Clip)

Have been hearing this–Win8 issues with the Clip players–alot here lately, and I just don’t get it (a Windows XP, Vista and 7 user here)–shouldn’t Win8 just see the Clips as an extrnal device/drive, at least when the Clips’ USB mode is set to MSC mode (under the players’ Settings)?
