USB devices store standard descriptors in firmware for the device, and its interfaces and endpoints. Independent Hardware Vendors (IHVs) can also store class and vendor-specific descriptors. However, the types of information that these descriptors can contain is limited.
So Microsoft implemented OS Descriptors, to enlarge potentialities of IHVs. These descriptors can be used by IHVs to store in firmware much of the information that is now typically provided to customers separately.
Here you can download OS Descriptors.
