What is Windows Driver Model (WDM)?
     WDM, or Win32 Driver Model, was announced with much fanfare at the Windows
     Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) in March, 1996. WDM is a standard
     API for device driver development under Windows that will be supported
     across Windows 98 and Windows NT platforms. WDM will be based on the
     Windows NT driver model, with additions to support Plug and Play. Although
     the definition has not been released, Microsoft has said that a future
     release of Windows 95 will support a subset of the Windows NT device driver
     services and architecture.

     Microsoft will initially support new buses (such as USB and P1394) with
     WDM class drivers�. Support for sound and input devices is also planned
     sooner rather than later.� No specific commitment has been made regarding
     other classes of devices.

     It appears that VxDs will continue to be required for many classes of
     drivers (for example, file system drivers for Windows 98) for the
     indefinite future.
