To me, a key word in David's assertion is "application", and to me a keyboard
driver is not an application.  One should not be too surprised a driver written
for one OS release would not necessarily still work in a subsequent release.
Particularly when the OS is changing to a multi-tasking user interface model
from a single exposed user interface thread.

One could argue that even "application" code is not necessarily 100% compatible,
but it seems to be remarkably close considering the major paradigm shift in the
OS.  That is, assuming the application is not doing things like accessing
internal structures, intercepting systraps, writing directly to the storage heap
without using Dm...() calls, etc.

IMHO,
Doug
