I suggest you read some the the feedback at the bottom of the article.

If AMD has a brain in their skulls, they will take this
golden opportunity and build on it- I sure hope they
don't follow Intel's Big-Brother-Cookie scheme... 'We' are
the enemy? This from a company feared for it's paranoia
and monopolistic predation? 'We', who have made it the
fantastically successful company that it is? For years we
pay their exorbitant prices for those CPU's (and
Microsoft's OS's, which are part of
the package deal, and this conspiracy, as well)- and we
are rewarded with mistrust and the baleful eye of their
'Big Bother knows best' spying policy! Why is Intel, a
hardware outfit, suddenly so damned interested in the
woes and sorrows of the poor, belabored software
industry?? One guess- "Dept. of Bribes and Kickbacks?
That would be on the sixth floor, Mr. Gates." Yes, we who
pay them billions of dollars for CPU's are the enemy,
while software outfits that bribe them to screw us are
their bosom buddies. Who out there who is reading this
wants to have Intel, Microsoft, or any other company or
organization
(or hacker, or criminal, or personal enemy, etc.) have the
ability to track all your email and surfing activities, and
be able to check, anytime they wish, the programs you
have loaded on your computer, and whether they are
'kosher' or not, in the eyes of the Software Association of
America? That is no different than them coming into your
home- by breaking down the front door while you are in
your skivvies, pushing you out of your chair, and logging
onto your PRIVATE home PC and searching it's contents!
Your PC is no different than your home or your car- NO
ONE has ANY right to enter it or search it in any way,
without a warrant from a judge, with just cause. Anyone
who buys Intel from now on is aiding and abetting this
outrage- I will not be one of them. "....
