Utter nonsense. They provide an API, not the source code. The only entities Microsoft will probably have to compulsorily show their source code (under an NDA for audit) is the government (primarily the DoD), and most likely only the US government. Read up a little before you make such claims: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/WDK/default.mspx http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/wdf/KMDF.mspx And I have no idea what you mean by a Utopian view. -- Siddhesh Poyarekar http://siddhesh.in -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
