Was it really DRM that got people in a frenzie, or was it the rootkits and the vulnerabilities it brought about?

Intel is making a huge mistake here. Might even be their downfall.

..and that's why I buy AMD chips!


"Additionally, AMT also features what Intel calls "IDE redirection" which will allow administrators to remotely enable, disable or format or configure individual drives and reload operating systems and software from remote locations, again independent of operating systems. Both AMT and IDE control are enabled by a new network interface controller. "

A good idea on paper, but who would use it and how long would it take someone to crack into it with spyware format drives all across the world??

It was a rootkit but was designed for the purpose of DRM, and poorly at that.
