XBox One Wireless Adapter Driver Issues (Win 8.1)

I have been testing out the new XBox One Wireless Adapter now that 8.1 compatibility has been added and I've noticed a few things after a few hours of testing:

- Upon initially installing the driver from Device Manager the controller registered as a DirectInput device in the Control Panel's 'Set up USB game controllers' window - however the 'Controller (Xbox One For Windows)' properties window was titled 'Logitech'
something or other (can't remember exactly) and DirectInput from the controller was non-functional -- deleting and reinstalling the driver fixed this.

- After connecting and disconnecting 360 controllers (via 360 Wireless Adapter) and Xbox One Controllers (via the Xbox One Wireless Adapter) several times the Xbox One adapter occasionally (twice so far in about 2 hours) stops providing input completely
(XInput test application shows no connection) -- this was fixed by deleting and reinstalling the driver.

- When using the controller with Final Fantasy XIII (a DirectInput game) at the initial in-game menu, selecting 'New Game' and then 'Easy' or 'Normal' will bring up a prompt to continue -- at this point the game stops responding to either the controller
or the keyboard (although it continues to run) and must exited -- the same behavior happens when selecting 'Load Game' or after selecting an interactive object in-game (which can only be reached by using the keyboard to load the game before touching any controller
buttons). This behavior is not reproducible with either a 360 controller or other DirectInput controllers and thus appears to be a driver issue with the Xbox One adapter.

I was mostly hoping to report these issues so they can be addressed but I would also like to know -- is there any plan to allow non-Windows 10 users to upgrade the controller Firmware, or is that capability being kept exclusive to the windows 10 app?
