That opens up an interesting possibility.  If that unsigned code exploit
might be able to be executed remotely and it breaks the trusted
security, then we could see in businesses that have to care about such
things a flight to AMD and... Talos.  The latter might do very nicely to
put open hardware and, by extension, free software into the prime-time
limelight.  Of course, that depends on Intel not being able to fix it,
though they'd probably be forevermore tainted by it.
