Some users worry that Intel is exploring a new business model by launching SDSi. Under this “business model”, Intel #CPU features will be disabled by default until the user “pays” an additional fee to obtain a corresponding license to “unlock” full functionality.

Bullshit Intel has a #KillSwitch for its CPUs and the power to turn off all CPUs. I don't want that kind of #crap in my CPU. Please do not support this by promoting this #business model. Do not buy Intel CPUs anymore!
