I would agree in that general assessment. There is no reliable information or  
credible source that I can find which has looked into it. The problem is that  
we shouldn't accept Intel's answer just because every reporting of this issue  
makes it sound like its just a bunch of conspiracy nuts objecting. I mean  
what a great way to ensure people with legitimate know-how, concerns, and a  
reputation to protect don't post about it for fear of being labelled.

This is not a feature I want to see in my machine regardless of its potential  
benefits. There are real concerns about security of the system. Increasing  
the complexity of the core software (BIOS) which is not easily upgradable is  
likely a cause for alarm. In general most of the non-free BIOS's that are  
used by manufacturers are really horrible. There are lots of unfixed bugs and  
other issues. Now add more software and your opening up a can of worms.
