WDK 6001.18002 is not available and WDK 8.0 throws compilation error

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Compile pbfilter in Visual Studio 2012 on Windows 8 x64.
2. Installed WDK is 8.0.
3. Required WDK 6001.18002 is not available anymore, not even from Microsoft 
Connect. Looks like Microsoft doesn't want it out.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
1>driver.cpp(123): error C2248: 'std::bad_alloc::bad_alloc' : cannot access 
private member declared in class 'std::bad_alloc'
1>          C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio

I will remove Win2K support soon-ish as long as we manage to sign the driver.
