I don't think there was any lesson to be learned by Microsoft. They needed to improved the driver model, they gave plenty of warning and the manufactures didn't heed it properly.
I'm sure a time will come when Microsoft will need to improve the driver model again and I'm sure hardware manufactures will slack off again too. Though I think I read somewhere that Microsoft was going to do something to try avoid or curb the issue next time. Forgot the details though.

I'd expect another driver update and change for whatever comes after Windows 8. There are some lessons to be learned - like how to "encourage" the OEM's to do their job and make the drivers they should.
