MSI RTFM-chip Details Reveiled!

Well here is something that just landed in my inbox today. Not totally sure if this it true or not, but the source seems genuine to me.

The MSI-forum and MSI-support team are fed-up with explaining you what can be found in the manual. I mean, come on, how hard is it to read a manual?

They are printed on paper so you see them.

We have been talking to MSI for a couple of years and came up with a solution.
It has been implemented on a few boards for some time and with big success.
It had various names, like CoreCenter (1st gathering tool) upto DrMOS (fully automatic)

Some of you noticed because Windows wanted you to install a driver, but you couldn't find the manufacturer.
On AMD systems this was called the Away-driver.

What you didn't know is this, this driver activates the RTFM-chip. (Re-Turn inFormation to Manufacturer chip)
It means it can detect if you read a manual as well stores the parameters you have set in the BIOS. As soon as you start Windows we are informed about your settings and manual readings.

I'm not sure if this is a good way for MSI to be making friends with it's customers. Read the rest of this post and get the full story to understand what they are doing. On top of that is it really that big of a deal? Go to the forum and post your thoughts here.

Update: Looks to be a joke, but it has gone pretty ugly, pretty fast. It made for a good read and laugh.
