Yes it should be fine. There is no way we can change that field and be
compatbile with Windows drivers and inf scripts. It is not our fault
that Microsoft used its trademark as the signature and our supporting
it in no way should violate trademark law. Its not like we are
adversiting "We ARE Windows NT" to the public by supporting this.

Thanks
