This paper provides preview information about device installation for the next client version of the Microsoft Windows operating system, codenamed "Longhorn." Manufacturers can use the information in this paper to anticipate changes and to design driver installation programs for the release of Windows Longhorn. Many of the rules that driver packages must follow to be installed successfully in Windows Longhorn represent best practices for Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and earlier versions of Windows. Existing driver packages that implement these best practices should require few if any changes to work for Windows Longhorn.
