I've seen Microsoft do a lot of things, but never make a promise if you
asked that they did not try to keep. On the other hand if you are
talking SUSE or Red Hat this is pretty common. Microsoft will probably
tell you no, or ask for more money than a firm wants to pay, but that is
the worst that will happen.

Hi Pavel,

Thanks for the reply. Right now I am at design stage and my ultimate
aim is to implement USB over IP.

Its not necessary to implement virtual USB host controller driver,
this is one of the deisgn approach to implement USBOIP.
I am open to other approaches.

I am not really sure about the Virtual USB host controller driver due
to lack of support from MS. Thus looking for some other approaches.

Thanks

Don, If Microsoft says NO, that can't stop someone to do what one
wants to do.

What will be the end result , MS will again suffer when substandard
drivers (built due to lack of support) will be running along with
Windows which may lead to problems/crashes in OS.
