I might be tempted to write my drivers to UDI so that I can port them to
*gack* Windows NT. Of course, someone will need to write a UDI interface
for NT for that to work:-)

(I would much rather write to UDI then to the NT DDK. My other hat is the
NT kernel mode hat, and let me tell you there are few things more horrid
then writing NT device drivers with the MS interfaces.)
