John,

I always wondered when someone was going to figure out how to hack the programmable registers of PII/PIII. Maybe the CPUID software patch Intel provided gave the hackers too much information.

Imagine the damage Intel could suffer if a hacker figured out how to overwrite the programmable microcode!
