What was the last thing installed on this computer?

To allow driver developers to write device drivers that are source-code compatible across all Microsoft? Windows? operating systems, the Windows Driver Model (WDM) was introduced. Kernel-mode drivers that follow WDM rules are called WDM drivers. All WDM drivers must:

Include Wdm.h, not Ntddk.h. (Note that Wdm.h is a subset of ntddk.h.)

Be designed as a bus driver, a function driver, or a filter driver, as described in Types of WDMDrivers.

Create device objects as described in WDM Device Objects and Device Stacks.

Support Plug and Play.

Support Power Management.

Support Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)

Although the Windows DDK emphasizes development of WDM drivers for kernel mode, information pertinent to kernel-mode drivers that do not follow WDM rules is also provided in the DDK. This allows you to maintain existing non-WDM drivers and to write new drivers that interface with these existing drivers.
