Is there a link to report Windows 8 driver faults? I have one trapped
in the debugger as we speak.
Is this an in-box driver for which you have some special requirement? Or are you asking the equivalent of “I think I found a bug in Win8, how do I report it?”
If it’s in a driver developed by a third party, you should check with that third party.
If you’re using the developer preview and you think you found a bug in a Microsoft driver, in general the answer is “no.” If you’re writing a driver that depends on this driver, like you’re writing a filter or something, you *might* be able to get help from WDK Developer Support… but I suspect they won’t help on Win8 issues yet.
If you’re using a version of Win8 that’s newer than the developer preview, you’re under NDA and have “ecosystem engagement” contacts that can point you in the right direction.

Probably the best approach is to set your system to generate full kernel
dumps. Then, if you hit a problem, hit “g” in the debugger, let the system
generate the dump and then let it upload to Microsoft for analysis. We look
at them all. (I triaged one yesterday.)
