I have to wonder if there is a sound business decision in all of this to force upgrades on users. Im perfectly content with a several year old laptop for what I do but I realize that the performance hit from this patch is going to force my hand on an upgrade. Lets face facts, intel hasn't seen a lot of real gains for real world usage in a few years - this change adds bloat to software where it simply wasn't being generated before. Note: im not suggesting the issue was intentional but this unintended consequence has an upside for someone, the question is who.
