The WDK site has lots of resources.

The lsmod-command shows the odd module. The command "modprobe -a hid_microsoft" does not reveal anything. What is it?

According.
The "microsoft" part might refer to an interface to a Microsoft mouse or something.
The kernel driver database , hid_microsoft adds support for Microsoft USB devices or mouse".

After a linux kernel upgrade, my VMWare server cannot start until using vmware-config.pl to do some re-config work (including build some kernel modules).
If I update my windows VMWare host with latest Windows Service Pack, I usually not need to do anything...

VMWare needs to be rebuilt to use the ABI in the new kernel.
Linux does not have a stable kernel ABI - things like the internal layout of datastructures, etc changes from version to version.

Check out QNX - one of the cool tricks it can do is to upgrade the kernel without rebooting, or even closing any programs....
The Mac OS X kernel is based on BSD.
Changing a processor to another is not disruptive enough.
At a higher level.

Following the "what's the best use for C" question.
The Linux kernel seems to be a famous and very well thought of C program. But is it a good example of mainstream "best-practice" C?

If you don't want to get overwhelmed with the details of the kernel, you can start by good example? I believe the Linux kernel is a very well written kernel in C with some problems code, I don't think it quite fits.
Yes, it is.

I like operating systems and would eventually like to become a OS developer mostly working on kernels. In the future will C still be the language of choice and what else should I be trying to learn.

Microsoft is in the process of rewriting some of Windows in .NET however I doubt that much of the kernel will be touched....
Important topics for OS kernel work include architecture.
C is pretty much it, with a fair amount of assembler .

I remember watching a webcast from Mark Russinovich showing the sequence of keyboard keys for a user initiated kernel dump. Can somebody refresh my memory on the exact order of the keys.
Please note this is for XP.

Unless the driver is your core busyness....
The Microsoft Detours library here .
These should give you all of the information you need .
I strongly suggest the books Windows Internals and Rootkits.
Yes, it's very possible to hook into the kernel.

The last time I saw a BSOD (Blue screen of death) was when Windows 7 tried to sleep in Parallels 3 which hadn't implemented ACPI for windows 7.
Apart from that I can't recall the last time I had a blue screen.

I've only ever had one kernel panic on OS X, and it was caused by LogMeIn, for some reason.
