I am in the business of software development, and it really annoyed me to discover that in order to use my new Samsung Galaxy note as a development device I had to download a ~200MB file from the Samsung website and install several hundred megabytes of bloatware called 'Samsung Kies'.
All I am interested in is the USB drivers which will allow me to connect to my phone to develop android applications. Some people also need these files if they want to root their device. As Samsung Kies is IMO a piece of junk, I have seperated out the USB driver package and present it here as a single, unmodified, 23MB download for both 32 and 64 bit Windows systems. Note that the package actually includes several drivers for various Samsung phones, hence the (larger than necessary) file size.

UPDATE 27/06/2014: Link is now dead :( See my newer post for an updated link and method here: http://liamcrayden.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/galaxy-note-adb-drivers-without-samsung.html
Please comment or +1 if these drivers were of any help to you. If I get round to it in the near future I will post the Galaxy-only drivers instead which should be approx 300KB instead of 23MB! Enjoy (and dont waste your valuable time and bandwidth downloading the Kies software ever again)
