ReactOS and the Windows Display Driver Model |
 |
The ReactOS project develops an open source, binary-compatible alternative to Microsoft Windows. One of the challenges of the project is the fact Windows continues to evolve and so ReactOS must also decide which elements and which versions of Windows to emulate. In an interesting dive into this evolution and display drivers, one of the ReactOS developers talks about compatibility with the Window Display Driver Model (WDDM). "As ReactOS gazes towards the world of Vista and beyond, a few questions about how hardware works emerge. Vista introduced massive overhauls to how hardware drivers are written and maintained. Gradually we're trying to handle many of these overhauls with great success. Today we talk about WDDM, or the Windows Display Driver Model." The fun, technical details are in the project's blog post.
