Windows driver model (WDM) is a strategy for making driver development simpler. The ultimate goal of WDM is a more robust platform for Microsoft® Windows® operating systems and better user experiences with new hardware for Windows-based PCs.
WDM provides a common set of services for developers to create drivers that are compatible across Windows operating systems for certain device classes. A WDM driver can be source-code-compatible for Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me), and Windows 98. This article provides an orientation to WDM for non-developers. Driver developers should see the Windows DDK for in-depth information about developing WDM and non-WDM drivers for Windows operating systems. http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/archive/wdmoverview.mspx
