Also, on servers, Intel has (requires?) SPS: server platform services. It's like an ME, but worse, and without a way to neuter it. Edit: a quick search yields a common core or division at Intel behind the ME and SPS, so that makes a bit of sense. There has been at least 1 exploit in the wild for that SPS, it also lists TXT and ME, so I guess it's a shared (MINIX?) kernel that had the bug.
