yes, on dell too, there is a USBtoI2C.dll and USB2I2C_ext.dll

One of the companies (BasICColor ?) offered a USB to VGA/DVI adapter
to bypass the operating system, to be able to access the display DDC/CI.
I don't know if that is still a product though.

It seems that MSWin has no way of accessing DDC/CI short of a
special system driver or by using display card specific
code prior to Vista, so I'm wondering how DELL do this on XP ?

OS X doesn't seem to be smooth sailing either, if you go by this:

<http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/61045/does-apple-support-ddc-ci-for-3rd-party-displays-via-apples-thunderbolt-to-dvi>

and this:

<http://forum.luminous-landscape.com/index.php?action=printpage;topic=70796.0>

None of this gives me the feeling that uploading calibration curves via
DDC/CI across all version of operating systems (MSWIn, OS X & Linux)
and different display types is an easy project.
Doing so just for displays that are accessible via USB might be more feasible.
