Help for wacom bamboo PAD

Hello everybody, I'm Vincenzo Mazzone, i'm italian so, sorry for my english, i've bought the bamboo PAD with digital stylus, the stylus was described on the resellers websites that it have 512 pression points and the wacom website tells about pression-sensibility: http://www.wacom.com/en/us/everyday/bamboo-pad-usb pity that the function doesnt work becouse wacom don't want to realase drivers! On MAC it works fine (i've read on web) but on windows doesn't work with pressure, BUT some programs can use the sensibility, for example: ArtRage and Bamboo Page (a wacom app for Win 8) so, can you make the compatibility wit GIMP? because it'a real fraud, and you with your fantastic program can resolve the problem and put "it" in that place to wacom! I attach this link:
http://forum.wacom.eu/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=16042it's a wacom forum, that explane how wacom reasoning...the touchpad have the potential, but they don't want to we use it! Please help we!

Hi Vincenzo,

It has nothing to do with drivers :) Pressure sensitivity in GIMP 2.8 for Windows is simply broken. Fixing it would involve a lot of work on an underlying technology that is pretty much obsolete by now. A proper fix will be released as part of GIMP 3.0, but it's way in the future (no estimations at this time).

I'm afraid, right now you have to downgrade to GIMP 2.6 on Windows, if pressure sensitivity is crucial for your work.
