Unlike DOS, there is no real difference between programming DDs for Windows
in asm or in any HLL. Also you can't write a driver just for Windows. There
are two "types" of Windows: NT and 9x/Me. Their kernels are slightly
different. You need a good source on writing device drivers at all (not in a
concrete language). I'd suggest you MSDN (for both NT and 9x) and, specially
for NT, the following books:

"Undocumented Windows 2000 Secrets", Sven Schreiber
"Undocumented Windows NT", Prasad Dabak et.al.
"Inside Microsoft Windows 2000 (3rd ed.)", D.Solomon, M.Russinovich
"Windows NT/2000 Native API Reference:, Gary Nebbett
