Greg, that really isn't very helpful, but your answers usually are. Are you having a bad day?

Quite possibly, sorry about that. General malaise yesterday, but unlikely to be H1N1. Today is better!

+1 A:

You should probably start by getting experience working on other kernels like Linux.

Microsoft probably would not let you touch their kernel without experience.

If you mean driver development, then there are DDKs and tutorials all over the place.

+1 A:

Learn about kernels. Learn to code kernel code. Writing device drivers is a start.
