Say, for a kernel-mode driver that simply maintains some system-wide data
(so it's not a real "device" driver per se), what are the exact logo
requirements for Windows 2000, XP and 2003? Note that due to latency
requirements, using a user-mode service is not the preferred approach to
that.
The "Designed for Microsoft Windows XP Application Specification" has only a
very vague statement -- "Any kernel-mode drivers that the application
installs must verification testing for Windows XP", and "Any device or
filter drivers included with the application must pass Windows HCT testing.
Does it mean, in my case, that
1. The driver does NOT have to be a WDM driver?
2. And/or the driver has to pass "Unclassified" driver testing in HCT 11.2?
3. The same requirements for driver installation?
Also, is it possible to get a non-WDM driver digitally signed? does it
always have to be signed by WHQL?
How about Windows 2000 and 2003?
Please advise. Thanks,
