I have been a SoftICE/DriverStudio user since around 1999 or so but I am
currently in the progress of migrating over to WinDbg. Although it can be a
bit risky, it is very handy to be able to debug on a single machine. Lately
though, I have had problems with SoftICE. In fact, right now I can't get
SoftICE to run at all. It may have started when I installed the WDF beta but
I am not absolutely certain about the timing.
Anyway, I have been using WinDbg to read crash dumps for a couple of years
and it is starting to grow on me. I can also put WinDbg and my development
tools on a laptop and have a portable debug workstation. This comes in handy
when you have to go to the system test lab, or God forbid a customer site, to
debug a driver problem. WinDbg is also supported by Microsoft, it is free,
and it is kept up to date with OS changes.
It may just be me, but it seems like Compuware is not as engaged in the
driver game as they used to be. Was Compuware at WinHEC this year? I don't
remember seeing them.
