Time to port some Windows XP drivers to Vista 64

Not the project I dreamed of, but it is still nice having to learn the innards of the newest Windows versions and x64 development.

Before anything else time to upgrade the DDKBUILD script to the newest available which covers kernel-mode development for Windows Vista and 2008 Server.

Put simply ddkbuild.cmd is a must-have for drivers' development, as it makes integration with VS2005 viable, newer versions of VS may also benefit but as I'm stuck with that version I don't know.

MS is getting some sense...

See the Novell/Microsoft cooperation/patent-protection agreements news, from Mono's perspective, of course:
