Really?
Well, that would explain it.
Did they insist patches and updates go through them, too?
(I think Samsung tried something along those lines.)
I wonder if those folks realize MS is looking to triple the distribution channels for Surface. At some point they may stop licensing windows to any oem that asks. With the move to cloud services MS is taking on ever more of the support burden for Windows systems so oems are going to need to offer a real value add to get away with a lot of their old practices.
