Kernel Streaming Drivers

Microsoft should run for government. The Windows Driver Development Kit contains a full help system, going into great details about developing Windows Driver, including the Kernel Streaming system. From a documentation standpoint, this information is highly accurate, detailing precisely what each function may do, giving specific details to how the system might behave, and clearing discussing how you might want to do things. Or not. It's got a lot of useful information, don't get me wrong. But between the documentation they include for their samples "Use the build command to build these samples" and the extensive lack of information about where the drivers you may be developing actually FIT into their diagrams, they hand over a large stack of unhelpful information. I'm left with the visual of the man in the hot air balloon who gets lost, lands, and a farmer is there. The pilot asks the farmer where he is, and the farmer replies "In the middle of a field of crops." Although the information is 100% perfectly accurate, it bears little actually assistance to the pilot. They need to move some of their publications team from the PlatformSDK team to the WinDDK team. The PlatformSDK is actually rather well documented.
