What is it? It's for Windows Vista Beta 1? (Why "Longhorn" than "Vista" in name?) Windows Vista SDK (f.e unmanaged api) or another thing? What things does the Windows Developers Kit contain?

It's a beta of the next generation Driver Developers Kit. They don't exactly say so very clearly though. It's easier to figure that out after installing it. Why "Longhorn" in the name, well maybe some people are hedging their bets on the plan to name it "Vista" because of trademark issues (warning in case it wasn't obvious: this was a snarky answer).

Please also ensure that you refer to our product by our trademarked name Windows Vista. :-) -- Regards, Mike -- Mike Brannigan [Microsoft] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights Please note I cannot respond to e-mailed questions, please use these newsgroups "Norman Diamond" <ndiamond@community.nospam> wrote in message news:e7Uwjj8lFHA.3568@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl... > It's a beta of the next generation Driver Developers Kit.
