Life of every driver developer is complicated by the fact that the code you write should be stable (read: bugs free) and compatible with any other third party drivers. It is very important for any driver to be bugs free, as any error in kernel leads (directly or indirectly) to a blue screen of death (BSOD). To ease the life of kernel developers Microsoft has implemented quite a few useful tools which helps to locate driver errors and make the code better. Some of them run in runtime (Driver Verifier

The prices usually are higher than in US or Canada (difference is quite big) 2. There are only few companies where you can assemble machine from pieces (I mean to buy separately pieces and assembly machine on your own) 3.
