awk (and weets) thanks for those points(edit)
it gets back to Tom Clancy to me. In Clancy's world everything works. Yes, HP and Dell have upgrade tools. Cool. Hopefully they work very well on all of the things they have shipped.
I would be happy to have the OEM-bios refresh tools work flawlessly, legacy TPM activation to work flawlessly, and I am not ruling out that happening. But I'm going to hedge my expectations for rate.
Remarkably sophisticated and extremely well supported guided missiles often... miss. I love Clancy's books, but they are filed under fiction.
Considering that much has happened slower than expected, I am going to figure I am correct on this until history shows me incorrect.
The above content is my opinion.
