Initially, all the files, mentioned above (inf, cat, sys, and pdb), are absolutely the same. Then the files go to QE for WHQL testing. QE tests the same drivers on both, desktop and server platforms, and creates two different submissions files for sending them to WHQL dashboard togather with the original "cat" file. As the result, we have two different cat files created from the same original one. As far as I remember, there shouldn't be any problem to swap these two cat files, and use them interchangeable. But it will be better get some conformation from QE team.
