AMD reveals open source client management tool
Dash board
AMD TODAY GAVE OUT details about open source tools it hopes will quicken the take-up of the Distributed Management Task Force's (DMTF's) desktop and mobile architecture for system hardware (Dash) standard.
This is the microprocessor maker’s latest move to promote and push for open standards through the creation of a Dash software development kit (SDK), which it produced in coordination with IT management software supplier Raritan.
The company says that it hopes the new tools will bring down the price of desktop and notebook client management, by reducing the amount of time which has to be dedicated to development, and making interoperability a priority.
AMD has long claimed that its strategy is to take the open standards approach, saying that it is committed to standards that allow for choice in the market.
Intel, AMD’s rival, also made a commitment to comply with the DMTF’s Dash 1.0 draft interoperability specification to open standards, with its Vpro updates last August. µ

"Since 1999, Microsoft required OEMs and BIOS vendors to support the DMI interface/data set in order to have Microsoft certification.DMI was the first desktop management standard and has been developed by the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF)."
So much for AMD coming with something new eh.
You can pack it in fancy terminology that only a few have the patience to read but that's been done before too I fear.
so what?
so amd didnt make DMTF, so what?would you rather them make a new standard? or make another proprietary standard like intel?
sounds like they're contributing to something open, which can only be good for us.
