RELATIONSHIP TO WDM In general, KMDF supports drivers that were written for the Windows Driver Model , which it is designed to replace. WDM is the driver model used for Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP, whereas WDF is the driver framework Microsoft is planning to use for Windows XP and beyond. In general, because more features like Power Management and Plug and Play are handled by the framework, a WDF driver will be less complicated and have less code than an equivalent WDM driver. SEE ALSO NOTES # The original release of KMDF only supported Windows XP and Server 2003. Support for Windows 2000 will be added in KMDF version 1.1. REFERENCES |
