ATL headers with DDK are not mainstream. MS recommends only using them if you are doing driver development.

We found some differences in the handling of CSimpleArray -- uses address-of operator & when doing Add on array. When storing COM smart pointers in the array, address-of operator calls Release( ) on the pointer first -- NOT GOOD.

DDK docs that describe the ATL headers here

excerpt here:

---

Included ATL Headers
The version of ATL that ships with this Windows 2000 DDK is not the same as the Visual C++ version and should only be used for driver development. General purpose ATL source code is available with your normal Visual C++ installation.
