WDM is for driver model before windows 2000. Since you need driver for
2k and above, you can go kernel mode driver. For this, change in
'Sources' file to TARGETTYPE=DRIVER. WDM driver is different kernel
mode driver for pnp and power management. If you are starting new
driver, you can use WDF library, but not available in DDK 3790. It is
still in beta.

WDM is the driver model for Windows 2000 and above (and also Windows 98/ME
but who cares). It is not for Windows NT. KMDF is part of WDF and is not
in beta, in fact it is in its second release, with a beta of the third.
