I think Linus is right in that there is a priori no reason to not accept the code. However, I think he'll change his mind once he actually sees it.

If any of you had actually looked at the code, you would have seen that it's crap. Even though they removed the weird Win32 coding conventions with lots of CAPS LOCK, UINT32 #define's and stuff, the functions are large and they are simply poorly written. If you look at "native" code, it is much more clean and written in an organized fashion. The MS code looks to be written in a haste, without properly thinking about the problem being solved (in this case, the writing of a driver).

That isn't to say that the code will not be useful, it could be rewritten to be obviously correct instead of it having no obvious bugs.
