In short: You can write in D everything you can in C. And there 
is good place called D.Learn for starters.


Anyway, with all sympathy I have, please use google for it.

E.g
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2222763/how-should-i-get-started-on-writing-device-drivers

"Writing a device driver can be pretty simple, or it can be 
almost arbitrarily complicated. For instance, I've been involved 
in a project where it took six of us almost three years to solve 
ONE bug in a device driver. "

I do writing/debugging drivers on my daily basis. Rewarding, fun, 
frustrating... So go for it. D has additional bonus as good 
looking syntax/modules etc.

BTW. Don't use Windows and Linux in the same sentence ;) Drivers 
are platform specific if you pass register map step.

Please share what you achieved. Wringing drivers is for the elite 
;)
