2008 DDC slides now available to all!
Got an email late last week stating that the material I and others presented at the 2008 Driver Developers Conference (which Dieter and James want renamed to Driver Development and Test Conference- more power to that idea!) is now available here . The

He’s Gone
It has been a tough week, and a busy one. I’m getting ready to leave on a vacation, and trying to get all those last-minute things done. While my last post discussed the genesis of what I call the Configuration Agent and the WDF QA Universal

WinHEC Presentations you might want to view
Since I was asked in response to my previous post "so what else is new in WDF?", how about this link to the presentation Eliyas and Peter made on exactly that topic at this year's WinHEC ? I suppose I could also flog this link to the presentation

Determining WDF runtime and client versions
What a long, strange trip, it was, getting to WinHEC! I waited for a shuttle to the airport at my apartment, and the rain [which was fairly heavy] turned into hail! But by the time we got near the airport, everything was dry. Well, LA is probably still

They're here!
For some of you, this may be old news, but it appears the 1.7 WDF coinstallers are finally back in the downloadable WDK (I just got my notification from Microsoft Connect much as others registered for the release program presumably did). This would be

New in WdfVerifier- the tweaks and fixes
Now that the PDC is underway, and WinHEC is nigh, I'm going to provide a quick peek at changes coming to the WdfVerifier tool (these will be in the Windows 7 Beta WDK, which isn't far away, but obviously I still can't say more than that). Doh! First off,

DDC Day 3 (and final) soon to come
In my post about yesterday , I left out an observation I feel the need to make. My intent for listing the folks I met in the morning wasn't so much to drop names as to observe that (a) they were appreciative of what I have done in terms of blogging

DDC starts in less than an hour
Plenty of good stuff for today- begin with Eliyas and Peter going over what's new in WDF for Windows 7 (or as we prefer to think of it WDF 1.9, since much of it also works all the back to Windows 2000 [KMDF] or Windows XP [UMDF]). It continues later

Looking Ahead- Conferences!
Since I noticed Patrick has spilled the beans [just before the second question], I might as well cover this topic while I wait for my dinner to bake [I eschew microwave ovens these days- just seems better to let it cook the old-fashioned- if early-to-mid-twentieth

It's soup!
You can now get the good WDF 1.7 coinstallers from Microsoft connect . What you will get is an MSI that will copy them and some accompanying notices to your machine. If you have the WS08 RTM WDK (18000) replace those coinstallers with these. If you have

The light at the end of the WDF 1.7 tunnel
I know people want to know about this, but firm dates still prove elusive. My best guess is today or tomorrow at this point. Basically we're trying to put an interim package up that satisfies everyone and isn't going to cause us foreseeable problems

Make that April 16th for WDF 1.7...
That seems to be the new consensus- only off by a day in that last post (which also has some background on why). Some "Thank You"s First off to Emil Protalinksi, for this article about our updated release date on Ars Technica . Not many people read my

A New Target Date For WDF 1.7!
As noted in the previous post (among others) , I've not been saying anything about when WDF 1.7 will reappear for all those eager to begin using it, biding my time and waiting for a date that sounds achievable and has been given to a customer from our
