Being signed has nothing to do with correctly working.
The project I was speaking about wanted to be able to do something about
you buying that wonderful new video card, or ATA-100 card -- receving the
vendor's device driver and finding it decreases the stability of your
system.
Windows has a specification and convention of how drivers should be
written. How do you know some driver actually follows it? That is the
basic problem this grant is researching.
