Because the flaw won't affect the Pentium II, will it help AMD to get into low range Intel market? On Friday, AMD followed the leader; will it behaves as a competitor on Tuesday.

Tom W., CNNfn said "Intel probably will find a fix for the latest flaw within a week. The company will work with software companies and PC make to distribute the fix."

Don't trust any software fix. Anything based on scanning code for the offending instruction is doomed to failure. Any hacker can write a program to generate the instruction 1 microsecond before executing it, making detection impossible.
