The DDK is “free”, or at least free in Microsoft speak. You have to pay for
“shipping and handling”, but at $15-25 it is cheaper than the Linux books
being sold. Sounds like Mandrake doesn’t like Windows.

I browsed the web page, and found that the IFS kit is $899.00.

The DDK Suite 2 is listed as $199.95.

I tried to follow the links to find the CD price for just the
Windows XP SP1 DDK, and got a 404. There are no downloads of
any DDK more recent then NT4.

(I get my DDK from the MSDN subscription.)

That said, I’m pretty sure it’s also true that Mandrake doesn’t
like Windows;-)
