I think there is an enhanced Windows device driver for the Peak
CAN interfaces, but it costs extra, and I'm not sure what
advantages it has over the DLL that comes free with the device.

So far I'm happy with the Peak device, they've been very quick
to respond to questions and suggestions on the Linux driver.
Some of the documentation is in German, but the example
programs are mostly in English.
