Why not? ever heard on "backward compat"?

Write for the oldest and lowest possible KMDF version. This will abolish the reboot requirement.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, WDK-6000 build environmets is not having the win-7
build environments, So i was doubtful about, Is it valid to use the WDK-6000
for Win-7?
From your reply, I understood that, I can still use the same.

But in WDK-7600, I observed the troubles of using KMDF 1.5 version for XP,
Vista{Same driver binaries for xp, vista works fine with KMDF-1.9}.
But it works for WIn-7 with KMDF 1.5, Is this is expected behavior or Am i
doing something wrong here?

Thanks,
Kota.

Yes, your driver built with WDK-6000 will should work for XP, Vista and
Win7.

Yes.

Drivers built in w2k/32bit build env in 6001 work fine on Win7.
