Hi Manuel,

I'm not so good with Windows -- can you give me a quick rundown of what this is for? Also, have you tested that it doesn't break anything on OS X and Linux?

Thanks, Marti

So windows uses a special vendor descriptor query at enumeration time to check if a device supports WCID. This allows it to automatically load and search for drivers. It's basically plug device in -> boom done, really nice on win8 (win7 needs to have the driver loaded once).

push forced. doesn't change anything on osx and linux btw, as they don't issue the vendor descriptor request.
