/SUBSYSTEM:NATIVE linker option not available??

[davidmurray1]

I am trying to write a device driver, and I need to set the project's
system link to /SUBSYSTEM:NATIVE (as opposed to WINDOWS or CONSOLE),
but the option isn't under the drop down box. If I try to type it in
myself, it just reverts back to /SUBSYSTEM/WINDOWS. The NATIVE option
should be in the list inherently, but for some reason, it's not
showing up on mine. Anybody know why?

This has nothing to do with .NET. If you're talking about Visual Studio
(you're not being exactly clear) a better group to ask this in is
microsoft.public.vstudio.development. FWIW, both my copies of VC++ 2005 and
VC++ 2008 show all subsystems.

And just in case: no, you can't write device drivers in any .NET language.
