It says: "The goal of the agreement, both companies say, is to improve
security, serviceability and deployment of Windows boxes."
I see it's from 2003.
Sooo...as it's now 2007, "to improve security" didn't happen. There
are more 0wn3d windoze boxes than ever before.
"..serviceability.." a euphemism for a lock-in.
"..deployment of Windows boxes." Another euphemism for the convicted
monopolist trying to corner the market.
At least I now know never to buy mobos with a Phoenix BIOS, or
Toshiba laptops.
