I read this new about vPro [es] wonders. I did a fast overview on Intel’s whitepaper. Then, I thought automatically in Ross Anderson’s FAQ about Trusted Treacherous Computing.
Updated, August 30th : I’m not the lone paranoic. Via OS News.
From the report of Ars Technica:
“You won’t really see much mention of DRM in most vPro coverage, because Intel has (quite appropriately) spent a lot of time and effort over the past few years talking up the TXT + VT-x and VT-d combination as a robust enterprise security and remote management solution. And indeed it is. But as a potential technological enabler of more effective DRM, it’s also the ideal companion to Blu-ray and HD DVD, and a godsend to Big Content. Look for it across the rest of Intel’s desktop and portable line by the end of 2008 and prepare to kiss fair use goodbye.”
