I read that as referring to things like _OSI("3.0 Thermal Model"). It
means (the way I read it) that Windows will not publish that kind of
_OSI string.
I think it is safe to assume that no OSPM will do those crazy things
with OS-defined _OSI strings (it's quite plausible that they do it with
feature _OSI strings).
First, because IMHO it is completely insane.
Second, because the current DSDT would also be theoretically broken with
an OSPM that does strange things with _OSI. We never call _OSI, so the
OSPM could presume that it should "disable all features".
