What the heck, how about another pro-Intel reply.

The chip ID is equivalent to Microsoft adding an agent to
Windows that reports every user action directly back to
Microsoft. This is the first step onto the "slippery slope" of
uncontrolled, unauthorized, electronic monitoring of the
home PC user by industry giants.

I have chosen to eliminate all Intel based products from
my offerings and am recommending that my customers
not purchase Intel based products until this trend is
reversed.

It is no accident that AMD sold more CPUs than Intel last
month. I believe Intel has made a huge blunder here
and they will quickly suffer the wrath of the consummer.
There is absolutely no customer benefit to the chip ID
technology. Suggesting it improves e-commerce security
is rediculous. When used in e-commerce, the chip ID is
analogous to embossing PIN codes on ATM cards.

Hey Intel! You're mistaken if you think the buying public
will accept this without a fight. The CPU chip ID will go
down in business history as one of the greatest product
development mistakes ever conceived. Within a year,
you will be producing AMD clone chips."
