Hasn't Intel learned anything yet!? Consumer opinion, specifically ours, makes or breaks their products. We didn't like their treatment of the floating point problem in the original Pentium. We didn't like a artificially downsized version of the Celeron (I called it the deceleron). And we don't want our microchips invading our privacy. I for one, promise never to buy another Intel Pentium chip if they don't remove the default chip identification process. Intel....listen. We've got far too many alternatives these days.
Intel, instead of trying to blow the early warning signs off...pay attention and act now. Reverse your decision.
