These are used by people like driver developers. Like the debug versions of your
application, these versions of the OS have components that have more error checking built
in, more ASSERT statements, and hooks for debugging features not normally available. They
also run incredibly slowly, which is not surprising.

They are debug builds of the operating systems - they often contain
additional checking on parameters passed to API functions. They are
generally somewhat slower that the retail builds.
