Yes, I know all about Jungo, and have never heard anything good about them from either the Windows developers I know, or anyone who has tried to get their stuff working on Linux using their framework.
I would not recommend their stuff at all, it's much easier to just write a native Linux and Windows driver instead. Especially with the new Windows Driver Framework, which helps those developers out a lot more these days.
