+ *  file located in this bootloader project's directory as the device's driver when running under Windows.

+ *  On 64 bit versions of Windows, the OS requires all drivers to be digitally signed before it will allow
+ *  them to be installed. As Windows' own CDC driver (which the supplied INF file references) is not signed,

+ *  Enforcement" to allow the CDC driver to install.
