Crossfire on an sli mobo???

Just came across this review of the HPs new Blackbird gaming rig, nothing special til I came to the spec. Seems theyve tweaked the Nvidia sli motherboard to be crossfire compatible, better still it seems as if there are plans for a software relaese that could make that compatibility almost universal.
Anyone know anymore about this?
Heres a link to the article
p.s. Sorry if this is old news, I just came across it today and thought it was pretty interesting

I don`t see the point myself,sli mobo for sli,crossfire mobo for crossfire.

Well it means much more flexibility when it comes to upgrades, not to mention less hassle when picking a motherboard for your system. I can see why some people might not see the point, but personally I like not being locked into one thing or another.

Yeh sorry maybe i should of put a ? at the end of my post.
