Ten,

Conclusion: It is in no one's best interest to require activation of the CPU ID.

I disagree. Microsoft could lose Cyrix and AMD, and still come out way ahead by stopping piracy on Intel boxes. There has been much informed commentary to this effect already.

Intel is hoping that people will be afraid to buy CPU's without this feature.
