Quite frankly, the whole HCL thing is pretty damn meaningless as far as I'm
concerned. Until recently, hardly any systems were on it because the jerks
at Microsoft wanted each manufacter to give them 5 units of each system to
be qualified. Not only were the systems not returned to the manufacturer,
but the word on the street is they were sold off internally to Microsoft
employees. Since this scam was halted, now only one unit need be sent and
it is returned when finished. That is why you are suddenly seeing so many
systems just now getting qualified.
