1. Read the various papers at
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/wdf/KMDF.mspx

I've already printed some articles. I'd like to take advantage
of Xmas to have some time to read them. But i guess that
ordering the cd that includes the "complete" WDK and waiting
for its delivery will take more than Xmas.

2. Download the framework for use with a DDK.

That's what i tried to do, but i can't find any framework. The only
framework available is 1.5 and it's included in the latest WDK
read this
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/wdf/KMDF_pkg.mspx

It seems to me that the only way to get the latest WDK
is to order the CD, unless you're a MSDN subscriber.

The following link
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/DevTools/ddk/default.mspx
lets you download the "Windows Server 2003 SP1
DDK [236 MB ISO file]" but there's no WDF included in it.

So i wonder... where is the WDF?
Do i miss some page?

Well if you want to eval the framework, you can either:

1. Read the various papers at
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/wdf/KMDF.mspx

2. Download the framework for use with a DDK.

If you are going to do the latter, you need to either use the Windows
Server 2003 SP1 DDK for KMDF 1.1 or you can get the latest tools,
documents
and KDMF (including changes to the interfaces) by downloading the WDK.
I
do wish Microsoft had made the decision to offer the WDK without the
testing stuff, which would have reduced the download significantly, but
overall you want to be using the latest tools, so downloading the WDK is
still a good idea.

Because i'm pretty sure that i won't be able to find
version 1.5 as a separate download. I just want to
evalute the framework and i wouldn't want to
install a new WDK. My one and only experience
in driver development was a TDI Filter driver
a long time ago and it was also the way i got started.
(It's crazy i know, but i needed a real motivation :)
Now i would like to buy a USB HW kit, but i also
would like to make sure i can develop a USB
client driver to talk to the kit. As everybody says
Pnp and Power management are not that easy to
handle in WDM, so i was hoping KMDF could
give me some help.

Why would you want the older KMDF?

I have the old WDK (no wdf is included).
Is it already too late to download the KMDF's
release >= 1.1 separately ? It seems that the
KMDF1.5 only comes with the latest WDK.
