Libguestfs - Nov 2015 - Re: [PATCH] v2v: virtio-win: include *.dll too

I think one - maybe final? - problem.  How can I tell the difference
between drivers for "client" versions of Windows (eg. Windows 7)
and server versions of Windows (eg. Windows 2008 Server)?

It seems in many or most cases the drivers are identical, eg:

(almost identical, *.cat files are different)

In any case the *.inf files don't seem to have any distinguishing
feature which would allow us to check this.

Maybe this doesn't matter?

Let me explain how it works:
We don't make any difference between server or client platforms when
building our drivers. Initially, all the files, mentioned above (inf,
cat, sys, and pdb), are absolutely the same. Then the files go to QE for
WHQL testing. QE tests the same drivers on both, desktop and server
platforms, and creates two different submissions files for sending them
to WHQL dashboard togather with the original "cat" file.
As the result, we have two different cat files created from the same
original one.

As far as I remember, there shouldn't be any problem to swap these two
cat files, and use them interchangeable. But it will be better get some
conformation from QE team.

Best regards,
Vadim.

Li Jin, this is a discussion we have on a public mailing-list regarding the
files structure
of our virtio-win distribution.
Could you confirm Vadim's statement above?

2k8 == vista == 6.0
2k8r2 == w7 == 6.1

You need to compare w7 against 2k8r2.  AFAICS they are the same.
