So- there is this Windows virtualiser with nsa-codeword sounding warbird as name. But why is is used to obfuscate the xpsprint driver and the speech recogniser dll? My spider sense tells me soon the world will know

It have to be something OEM releated I think-but why do it look for that token, what do it unlock? Why is it looking on the uefi partition for it?

I have no idea- may very well be reasonable and benign, I just shiver when I things are named like that. Like ProjectCentennialDogfood - wtf? https://officeclient.microsoft.com/config16/?lcid=1033&syslcid=1033&uilcid=1033&build=16.0.11929&crev=3 …

Might just be the way they come up with project names, randomly selecting words. Heard of other companies doing that. Interesting to see what you, or someone else, find

Yarh- that is used in the intelligence world after chosen codewords for undercover agents revealed their identity because they where obvious. So they switched to chosing random words- but do not always stick to it, like "operation desert storm" had to cool

Warbird is Microsoft's name for their obfuscation technology, used in PatchGuard and also DRM related things. Probably xpsprint and speech recognition have DRM capabilities.
@aionescu has talked/written about it in the past -
I know all that- the question is what DRM is there when I print or windows recognisises the spoken words from the microphone?
