I don’t know what to think of this.  According to ZDNet, Intel just bought McAfee.  I never have been a fan of McAfee as it never protected my PCs very well when I used them. Then with the fiasco that killed corporate computers with a bad update back in April 21st of this year – I trust it even less considering that corporate customers are considered mission critical / high priority in comparison to your standard home users.  Now if this goes to show what kind of thing they are planning for hardware-enhanced-security, I’d be scared unless Intel really cracks the whip and gets McAfee in shape.  Time will tell, I’m sure many more details will be available in the days to come.
