Scumbee,

re:"Do you really believe that this feature is going to make it into the stores?"

I was merely responding to P.F.'s scenario. His premise was that a store would somehow read the CPU ID and then document it!!

THis would of course be in addition to the PC serial #.

I agree that this was egg on the face, only because Intel backed down so easily, though.

One could read that fact two ways:
1) Intel is an extremely adept corp. that has learned from missteps in the past, or
2) this was a bad Idea from the start.

I think #1!

ciao!

Chris
