"WDM" and "WDF" are a little bit cryptic ...
install/drivers/{WDM,WDF}/ instead ?

This link is currently empty ;-) DP do not (yet) provides vista or ws7 
packages of drivers.

And I found some vista drivers in DriversPacks (XP) packages of drivers.

install/drivers/{WDM,WDF}/{x86,x64}/ ?

It gonna be a major pain for people to split their drivers into up to 2 
OS (up to) per 2 arch ...

Probably have to consider parsing .INF files of a driver and hints which 
platform (OS x arch) it's applying to :(
Wait and see !
