As an aside, it appears that getting a driver signed does NOT involve lots
of money to purchase a signing. It means getting a certificate of some type
and going through registration hurdles. Now to get a much higher level of
certification than just signed (as in I can support Vista perfectly), does
indeed involve lots of money.

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.
