Are there any difference between windows NT and windows XP driver development?

I found this tutorial on windows NT driver development,

but not sure whether it can be applied for windows XP without mod开发者_如何学Goification.

Anyone knows?

UPDATE

BTW, is it a MUST to use cdecl calling convention(int _cdecl main) to communicate with a driver?

There isn't a huge difference. I'm sure there are differences, but they will be documented on MSDN for whichever API you're interested in.

The big difference comes with Vista and WDDM.
