Very very true! but Don if we look at OP then it points to someone who
is new to this kind of tricks. So don't you think a quick start is
better than being lost in tuns of documents? where the latest tutorial
of (WINDDK\3790.1830\src\general\toaster\func) was updated by Kevin
Shirley back in 01-Jul-2003 ;-)

Except a quick start with Jungo does not teach you Windows driver
development, it teaches you Jungo driver development! The cost of
relearning things correctly is as bad or worse than learning to do it right
the first time. There are a lot of ways to learn drivers, but learing a
toolkit that in the end will need to be thrown out is not a good one.

I wonder why we don't have such oppertunity from DDK folks? you just
mentioned that *they* do teach you somehow windows drivers in quick
way, right? though the matter of fact that you endup with trouble
waters.
