Do you think the Windows driver would use DMI ? That seems quite
unlikely to me, given how they would have to release a new driver binary
for every machine. I'm pretty sure that a different mechanism is used to
identify camera integration, and I think it would make sense to follow
the same approach. That would allow us to avoid large tables of DMI
identifiers that would need to be constently updated, potentially making
user experience better.
