 # WPD multi-transport sample driver
 
 The WpdMultiTransportDriver sample demonstrates how you could extend the WpdHelloWorldDriver for a device that supports multiple transports. A transport is a protocol over which a portable device communicates with a computer. Example transports include Internet Protocol (IP), Bluetooth, and USB.
 
 A number of portable devices now support multiple transports. For example, a number of cell phones support both Bluetooth and USB. Windows supports a multitransport driver model that ensures that only one node appears for each device.

 # WPD WUDF sample driver
 
-The comprehensive WPD sample driver (`WpdWudfSampleDriver`) demonstrates virtually all aspects of the Microsoft Windows Portable Devides (WPD) device driver interface (DDI). This driver is built as a normal User-Mode Driver Framework (UMDF) driver that also processes the WPD command set. Although this driver does not interact with actual hardware, it simulates communicating with a device that supports phone contacts, pictures, music, and video.
+The comprehensive WPD sample driver (WpdWudfSampleDriver) demonstrates virtually all aspects of the Microsoft Windows Portable Devices (WPD) device driver interface (DDI). This driver is built as a normal User-Mode Driver Framework (UMDF) driver that also processes the WPD command set. Although this driver does not interact with actual hardware, it simulates communicating with a device that supports phone contacts, pictures, music, and video.
 
 This driver was written in the simplest way to demonstrate concepts. Therefore, the sample driver might perform operations or be structured in a way that are inefficient in a production driver. Additionally, this sample does not use real hardware. Instead, it simulates a device by using data structures in memory. Therefore, the driver might be implemented in a way that is unrealistic for production hardware.
