Subject: IMPORTANT - KMDF 1.0 and Windows 2000 support - update
From: "Johan Marien [MSFT]" Sent: 11/29/2005 12:10:31 AM

I'm glad to see that our development community is alive and well based on
the tremendous response to the prior posting on this subject and the info
posted on http://www.osronline.com/article.cfm?article=427. Needless to say
that the deluge of email and NG postings has attracted sufficient attention
to fast-track this issue along the chain of command.

Some have asked why the development team did not announce this in June, when
mainstream support for Win2K expired. The decision to block installation on
Win2K came as part of changes to an MS-internal release management process
first announced to us mid Oct. As details about the new process emerged,
additional ship-blocking requirements forced us to revisit our deployment
and servicing scenarios - which brings us to today's announcement.

Regarding the availability of KMDF 1.0 bits (w/o Win2K)... the release is a
matter of days - not weeks or months away.

As mentioned in other threads, testing of KMDF on Win2K has been part of the
test plan throughout the development cycle. To release KMDF 1.1 (w Win2K)
would require a final test pass on Win2K, some additional work to package a
KMDF runtime for Win2K in the coinstaller, and putting the install package
through its paces.
If optimistically the decision to make KMDF available for Win2K were to pass
in the next couple of days, a preliminary estimate would put a release that
allows for installation of the runtime component on Win2K out in late Jan
'06.

I will keep you posted as this develops.
-Johan
