Recompiling a single driver should be SLIGHTLY easier than an entire multi gigabyte operating system, I would say. Also, if you already have Windows and just want to improve it, you can obviously compile the updated driver with your Windows-based compilers running on Windows itself. Things may get A LOT easier then. And you need to steal less sourcecode to only fix ACPI.SYS
