Dear RVP Facetiousness aside, ;-) I'm merely posting more evidence of the concern people have about their privacy. While their intentions appear to be honorable, I wonder if Intel really needs to be the pioneer. If the intention is secure e-commerce, how long will it be before there are sufficient PIII's installed that an e-tailer would choose to constrain his business to PIII, (forsaking all of the legacy machines out there?) A couple of years or more? And can't there be other methods that would heighten the security of a transaction on the entire installed base? Just seems to me now is the time to reconsider the decision. PSN could be a latent problem that becomes a major issue down the road.
