in that case, we should ask Microsoft before taking such a risky action. And remember, no answer means "no".

        There is a little problem however: we are talking about the

        in use boot drivers, but we'd need something equivalent in
        place for this.

    I don't disagree that it is a challenge. But less than one of
    trying to win a court case for violating the terms of distribution
    for someone else's copyright.
