Intel sucks. It needs real competition, more than AMD and Chinese-only market CPUs derived from VIA.

Which in case of Intel it's not THAT far off from the truth anyway.

You'd have to run a malicious binary anyway, which can already do whatever it wants, and far worse than the end result of this.

So much better in fact that I'm seriously considering an early upgrade. The only thing it will not be is an HP! HP BIOS support sucks and their batteries simply don't last and are hard to replace. To that end I'm looking for a model/manufacture that builds decent hardware and actually supports it.
