32bit vs 64bit drivers

are there any specifics when developing a device driver (kernel-mode) on Windows 7 32 bit or Windows 7 64 bit? Can I develop on some platform and prepare builds to run on the other one? Thank you.

Here are some possible source code bugs, which could arise while going from 32-bit to 64bit versions.

That's what MSDN is for: 64-bit System Design

If you don't do anything funny, producing a 64-bit driver shouldn't require any changes except for a rebuild.

You need the Windows Driver Kit. Yes, you should be able to cross-compile.
