1.7 What Platforms Does WinDriver Support?
	Chapter 1. WinDriver Overview

WinDriver supports the following operating systems:

Windows 7/Vista/Server 2008/Server 2003/XP/2000 – henceforth collectively: Windows
Windows CE 4.x – 5.x (Windows CE.NET), Windows Embedded CE v6.00, Windows Mobile 5.0/6.0 – henceforth collectively: Windows CE
Mac OS X 10.5.x–10.6.x – henceforth collectively: Mac OS X
Linux

Support for Windows NT 4.0, Solaris, and VxWorks is available in earlier versions.

The same source code will run on all supported platforms – simply re-compile it for the target platform. The source code is binary compatible across Windows 7/Vista/Server 2008/Server 2003/XP/2000, and across Mac OS X 10.5.x–10.6.x; WinDriver executables can be ported among the binary-compatible platforms without re-compilation.

Even if your code is meant only for one of the supported operating systems, using WinDriver will give you the flexibility to move your driver to another operating system in the future without needing to change your code.
