Hi, Whilst parts of our kernel try to target 5.2 changes, from a testing perspective it should be pretty much identical to 5.1. IMO, unless you're a kernel dev interested in implementing some of the more elegant kernel features in 5.2, then anyone with a 5.1 box is more than adequately

Hi, our main target is w2k3, so this is quite logical to use it. I know user-mode may target any Windows release, but in such case, I guess that more devs have some Windows 7 running than a w2k3. So, testing user-mode stuff is quite easy. Kernel-mode tests are really harder. Then, as I already
