>Even though I have many reservations towards Intel, its product policy, anti-competitive behaviour and so on, but where it is due, I can also applaud them. They do invest into the open ecosystem and do it right, investing into major components of the software stack and optimize it for their platform (even AMD takes a profit from this more often than not, e.g. with all the low-level x86 optimizations in the Kernel, Compilers and Libraries).
Shill/10. Let's all forget about all the hardware backdoors/security/30 to 50% virtualization power loss, never happened.
