Your Pinto analogy is really stupid. The chip is not "defective" if it is used as intented.

You mean getting rear ended is the way Pinto was inteded to operate?

Also, why do you think we have protected mode, operating systems that have various security levels? Do you think all that work was done just for fun?

No. It was done to turn personal computers into serious business tools, not just toys.

This bug is a step back. It is a loss of credibility. Let's see if Intel can regain it.
