what is side-by-side support?
in the following paragraph side-by-side support is the simultaneous use of two or more major versions (of operating Windows OS) by two or more drivers.
does this mean that one driver will be used by one version of the OS and the second driver will be used by the second version of the OS?
The driver model should support versioning and side-by-side support
The driver model should support versioning, so that a single driver binary will run on any version of the operating system. In addition, the model should provide side-by-side support, the simultaneous use of two or more major versions by two or more drivers. Versioning and side-by-side support enable binary compatibility for drivers across different versions of the operating system, thus simplifying testing and installation requirements.
