FUD Zilla reports NVIDIA's notebook division is developing Tegra drivers for the ARM edition of Windows 8:

Nvidia wants to be ready with Windows 8 drivers on both fronts and Rene believes that Nvidia has a slight advantage over its main tablet competitors, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments.

The advantage comes from the fact that Nvidia had developed many Windows drivers before for Geforce chips. Qualcomm does have ex-ATI team and Adreno graphics, but these guys are from mobile ARM division that probably didn’t work much on Windows driver development.
