A couple of years back, and being absolutely horrified at the remote management available on my second-hand lenovo t420s - including management over wlan. Sure the features are gated by price/cpu "brand" - but I think it's safe to assume a) this is complex software and will have bugs with security implications b) once it's well enough understood - it seems likely it can be "upgraded" (similar to how you today can eg: replace the bios with coreboot). The conclusion is that we need new platforms - perhaps power5 will help.
