+ACPI is also important because hardware and OS vendors have already worked +out how to use it to support the general purpose ecosystem. The infrastructure +is in place, the bindings are in place, and the process is in place. DT does +exactly what we need it to when working with vertically integrated devices, +but we don?t have good processes for supporting what the server vendors need. +We could potentially get there with DT, but doing so doesn?t buy us anything. +ACPI already does what the hardware vendors need, Microsoft won?t collaborate +with us on DT, and the hardware vendors would still need to provide two +completely separate firmware interface; one for Linux and one for Windows. +
