Difference between Windows 7 driver model and Windows XP Driver model

Hi All,

what is the difference between Windows 7 driver model and windows XP driver model?

That is a really difficult question to answer. In general ‘the model’
is the same. In the specifics the kernel interfaces have been modified
and expanded over each release. In general a driver written to the xp
interface will work correctly in win7.
