Problem installing Arduino driver on Windows 8

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

I learned that Windows 8 requires that device drivers be digitally signed in order to be installed. So when I try to install the Arduino driver, it doesn't work. There is a workaround that disables the Windows requirement, but I was wondering if there were plans for Arduino to issue a signed version of the driver.

Yes, there is already an issue opened and the developers said they are working on it:

Yes.

Arduino 1.0.4 and higher now have signed drivers for Windows 8.
