Do you really
think those 2 sites have any influence over what MS or large OEMs like
Dell do?

No, I don't. Nearly 200.000 people are using www.dingens.org now, and I
think, Torsten has the same amount of users as an estimation. But this is
far away from Dell ;-)

Which is my point exactly. The people who build their own PC and install the
OS can use this info. The people who are the ones who really need it are the
non-techies who buy a PC without SP2 on it in a clearance sale, or get an
older PC off a friend. Those are the ones who end up getting infected and
cause trouble for the rest of us.

This is, why I'm calling Microsoft to implement this way.

Good luck to you. I work for an MS partner - and we have trouble getting
anything done just for our small relationship with Microsoft Press!
