   * For convenience reasons, the development toolchain used for the Windows backend is [http://www.mingw.org MinGW] and the target for the first stable release will be Vista and later Windows versions.
   * The method of dealing with USB devices in the first release will be [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa476426.aspx WinUSB] only, with some provisions for HID and kernel driver access to be included later. 
-  * Windows' handling of multiple interfaces is done through the MI part of the driver (VID_####&PID_####&MI_##), effectively requiring separate drivers to be installed for a device with multiple interfaces (see "2. How Windows handles a composite device" at [http://www.cygnal.org/ubb/Forum9/HTML/001050.html])
+  * Windows' handling of multiple interfaces is currently done with a single WinUSB device, that replaces the usbccgp.sys driver (Composite Generic Parent) rather than through the MI parts of the latter (VID_####&PID_####&MI_##). We might use separate WinUS drivers for each interface along with usbccgp if we can figure an easy way to do so. For more info, see "2. How Windows handles a composite device" at [http://www.cygnal.org/ubb/Forum9/HTML/001050.html].
