Ok, so you would rather lie to management and lead them to believe that
undocumented techniques are the magic yellow brick road, to do something
that the Microsoft rep that monitors this list said you can’t? How forward
compatible will your “undocumented” techniques be for Win 7.1 or Win 8?
Undocumented techniques are undocumented for a reason — the code they are
based upon, may go away, without any warning, leaving you and all your
customers holding onto your pipe dream. Not a nice place to be in when all
you had to do was be truthful with mangement in the first place.
How do you know those undocumented techniques are the way to solve the
problem? Perhaps your competitor paid the bucks for the source to build
their code. If so, dude, you’re screwed, since “they” can go places you can
only guess at and hope someone “undocuments” the next branch on those rather
pissy colored bricks.
But, Doron had a question you need to answer — why is that memory so damn
important, and precisely WHAT are you trying to do? There just might be, oh
my god, DOCUMENTED, ways of doing it.

Since another device driver on the market is doing it, this is not a an
acceptable answer to managment so perhaps undocumented techniques are the
way forward.
