Let's get back to Windows XP era, where MIDI was 'exposed' to the public and it had its own place into 'Sound and Multimedia' control panel application. I've done some research and tests on the arguments, but the available documentation is really 'poor' (confirming my feeling about Microsoft intention to drop it out).
The number of help requests I'm getting from Windows 8 users trying to use MIDI programs is growing day by day.
