Re: Windows Driver Foundation

WDF has some great things going for it. The kernel mode version has can
eliminate all the nasty power code and the PNP state machine from your
driver. I know of no one who gets power correct so this in itself is a
major improvement. There is a user mode version that will allow some device
drivers to be moved out of the kernel.

Now the downside is that the stuff still has a lot of "To Be Supplied" in
the doc's, and some interfaces were changing recently. It will be very good
and if you are doing a prototype driver you should be looking at this. If
this is production code, you need to evaluate whether it works for you at
this time. I am not sure you can ship a WDF driver yet.
