Got A Utility Suggestion?
Hey, if we can use your creative noggin' and our toolsmithing abilities to come up with useful utilities for Windows driver developers, world peace would be just around the corner...well, lets just leave it at being a marked improvement to the current state of things.
Send us an idea. Regale us of an annoying, repetitive task that could use a little simplification. Detail a level of insight or access into the OS that you could benefit from (ok, save having the Windows source distribution as a mapped drive letter).
Suggest one deliver on and we'll get you referenced in the app as the "idea man", and send you a box o' goodies as thanks.
