Re: Does Bill Gates know about the DDK regarding C++?

Please let us know the companies and drivers you have written for, so we can
avoid them. A friend of mne just had to deliver the bad news to a firm that
if they wanted a stable maintainable driver, they had to throw out the crap
they had, which did exactly as you describe. Having heard about this one,
and encountered a few like it myself, I know how the customer feels when you
explain, gee throw out this plague.
