August 15, 2002 - If you are Windows device driver developer then you may
have interest in this information posted in the Microsoft DDK website:
"As of September 30, 2002, the Microsoft® Windows® 2000 DDK, the Microsoft
Windows 98 DDK, and the Microsoft Windows NT® 4.0 DDK will no longer be
available for purchase or download..."
If you have any intention to develop for these platforms I would recommend
that you download the original DDKs for these versions before they become
unavailable. Also, find and download the Windows 95 DDK if you have any
interest in it.
Although Microsoft's DDK products are continually improving, it is doubtful
that the "Unified DDK" will completely support the material provided in the
original DDKs. It would be too easy to overlook some documentation, header
or library that would make the "Unified DDK" inadequate for some purpose
unimportant to Microsoft.
