CPQ has always had non-compliant startup sequences, they never changed to the 'windows experience'. Some machines happened to have compliant sequences, but that was usually a result of a product team that didn't care about creating their own version. GTW got there last spring (February or March I think) and Micron came out from behind the rocks about the same time. I am not saying that MSFT did not attempt to control the OEMs here, and I believe that their motives were far from pure, but only that they were not successful in that attempt. None the less I have been very surprised by the level of industry kowtowing that has been displayed by the DOJ documents. No wonder Kempin tried to pound as much salt up those guys as he could - they were not offering any resistance.
