Would people PLEASE file bug reports on stuff like this?

How can you expect Microsoft to fix, or even KNOW about, these things if you
just whine about it? This is not a service to the development community.

If you see a deficiency, FILE A BUG. File it through tech beta, file it
with PSS, or file it via the OSR web site. If you file it through the OSR
web site, I’ll review it, and assuming that I agree that it’s a genuine
problem, I’ll personally file and track the bug in Microsoft’s internal bug
data base.

The order of PCI resources is a perfect example of a glaring technical
deficiency. Nobody I’ve ever met at Microsoft WANTS the DDK to be ambiguous
or annoying.

If it’s a problem, please REPORT A BUG. Wouldn’t it be more satisfying to
be able to say “I got this fixed in the most recent DDK” than there’s long
been an “absence of documentation” on this topic?
