No you are not. I was not clear in my question. I meant to ask, if they have created one driver for the entire Windows platform, by letting the installer figure out what specific dll's to register (the ugly way IMHO) or if they had actual created one big installation that would run cleanly on any Windows version (the nice way). - same goes for Linux, do they deal with difference in library versions on install time or have they figured out a way to ensure that the driver will always run (using some minimum requirements, like Glibc and XFree/Xorg versions). On the topics of cross platform driver development, I just wanted to know if anyone had any experience with it - my initial though was that this would be to hard given that there is a substantial difference between the Windows and Linux kernel (for one Windows NT is a micro kernel (although it is a handicapped micro kernel, running all its server process in kernel space, seams to defeat the entire purpose of having one)).
