I have great heartburn with DriverStudio since comments from the Microsoft
developers (Oshin, etc.) are making comments on the driver discussion forum
that Compuware is not talking to them about folding in WDF into
DriverStudio. That means you most likely will not be able to use
DriverStudio for WDF development when WDF is blessed and released.
The current release of DriverWorks is also not up to snuff as far as
supporting the latest DDK. Case in point: DriverWorks 3.1 does not include
support for in stack queuing of spinlocks: KeAcquireInStackQueuedSpinLock,
KLOCK_QUEUE_HANDLE. Don's comment about requiring knowledge of the DDK is
also significant. You cannot ignore the DDK in any kind of kernel
development.
