As a customer and not an OEM, what would they do with this information other than ask other parties to hurry with updates?
The mitigations required OEMs to send firmware, microcode, and software updates.

- Radle 9y agoIn some systems the PC maker controls the update path and not the operating system. As such it was important to get PC makers on the Team, otherwise users would have been left undefended.
