- astrodust 9y agoI like what he's fighting for, but honestly, if he could step back and be a little more objective about these things it would help his cause. Not everything is nefarious and evil. Sometimes a feature is introduced with the best intentions, but those intentions are misguided. Corporations do want to ensure the laptops are booting a legit copy of Windows, that the image hasn't been corrupted, and they do want to be able to wipe and restore machines remotely. Maybe people don't want this, I don't, but corporations buy way more computers than people do, so Intel's compelled to produce these features. They absolutely could have done a better job, they absolutely could have offered hardware without it, but to just blanket slam them in the harshest possible terms isn't productive.
