    99The Windows backend is now in pre-release stages. As of 2010.02.17, it include all of the main libusb v1.0 features, for both HID and WinUSB devices, apart from isochronous transfers (which is a limitation from the WinUSB Microsoft API).[[BR]] 
    1010It currently supports all Windows platforms from Windows XP, including 64 bit versions of Windows (Windows 2003 is untested).

     14The following development environments are currently supported for libusb 1.0 on Windows: 
     15  * [http://www.mingw.org MinGW] (32 bit) or [http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/ MinGW-w64]. If using MinGW-w64, make sure you use a recent version (> 2010.03), as earlier ones had a [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2904747&group_id=202880&atid=983354 bug] preventing libusb from working. 
     16  * [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualc/default.aspx Microsoft Visual C++ (Visual Studio)], either Express or full version, from version 6.0 (NB: currently missing project files for 6.0). You should be able to produce both win32 and x64 binaries with Visual C++. 
     17  * [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=36a2630f-5d56-43b5-b996-7633f2ec14ff Windows DDK build environment], which is '''freely available''', through the use of the 'ddk_build.cmd' file. This will also produce both 32 and 64 bits binaries.
