It is my understanding that EVERYTHING needs to be signed in Vista 64.
That is too bad.  You should see XP64 with multiple cores run the new driver
on the firewire.

It appears that you can write user mode drivers for USB with UMDF:

I wonder if these need to be signed on 64 bit Vista?  If not, this
would probably be the way to go on Windows.
