This article really shows why I don't like Intel and how Intel treats their customers, and highlights why closed source vendors, like Intel, are extremely dangerous - because they can force people who know about vulnerabilities to not talk about them, or worse, intentionally block fixes! Intel chips weren't just vulnerable, they were vulnerable intentionally.
