Many thanks for answering.

As I try to write a WDM compliant driver, do I still have to care what
system lies underneath? I understood WDM to be the solution to this
situation, that driver developers don't have to care about Windows
versions anymore.

So what are friction points I have to know about? Is there a summary
that shows me where I have to care what platform the driver is running on?

Thanks
