Re: Is WDM or WDF driver is mandate to work in Vista 32/64 bit?

Any PCI device is PnP by very definition.

Legacy NT driver model for PCI hardware (based on HalAssignSlotResources)
is deprecated since Windows 2000 (7.5 years from now), and, if such a driver is
present in the OS, it will disable standby/hibernate features of the OS.
Nevertheless, I think it is still supported in Vista.

So, this is very, very dirty, and I should suggest to reconsider your "time
limitations" to detemine what is better - users cursing you for extremely dirty
driver which provides negative impact on the whole OS or delivering the driver
later a bit.

I am working on legacy PCI driver, which is based on NT driver model, doesnt
have PNP support also, Is the legacy NT model driver support is existing in
Vista 32/64 OS?
I would happy to work in NT model because of time limitations, Can any one
let me know, Will NT model driver will work in vista or not.
Is WDM/WDF or mandate?
