Well, you do have to give them credit. That first AMT exploit was ignored for 10 years, that's one up on even Lenovo. In a category you really don't want to play one upsmanship in.

What's interesting is that this was the primary topic of Security Now last week on May 2. I'm only listening to it now though.
