Ten,

Then if the user so chooses, he or she can go to Intel's web site, download a utility, and set the ID to zeros

This probably wouldn't be acceptable. People will be afraid to do this for fear of making the processor useless. For example, Microsoft might not let you install Windows 2000 on a PIII without the feature being functional.

Whether or not these fears are justified, their very existence will tarnish the image of the processor.
