Well, AMT has been around since about 2005, and vPro since 2007. It's a favorite topic for some people on Slashdot to bring up. There's a hackaday article from about 2 months ago [1]. My theory is that it's a combination of factors. - Introduced a long time ago; it's old news. - It is talked about, but only in certain circles - Confusion over the relationship between vPro, IME, and AMT, or at least unfamiliarity with those terms making articles/discussions related to them less likely to pop out as interesting topics. - Some of the people who know about it consider it the normal, boring, status quo, and they react to anyone shocked by it as an alarmist.
