I wrote this to another thread, but i think it is serious enough to start a new post.
WARNING (just read this) (quotes) :
"A reason to stay away from Intel chips in the future? Intel's latest chipset adds support for Microsoft's DRM format on a hardware level. Intel is not giving out any details, probably because they tried to sneak that one in without anyone noticing...."
"PC World has another story featuring that same quote, but without much in the way of additional details. Wes Felter has linked up this list post, in which an Intel rep clarifies that the mysterious DRM support is actually support for DTCP-IP. There's still no word though on what form the support takes.
From what I can tell, DTCP is essentially a protocol that sits on top of TCP/IP and provides DRM by ensuring that both endpoints in an IP connection are trusted before transmitted protected content. I imagine that Intel's DTCP support is some kind of hardware-level means of enabling the strict enforcement of this endpoint authentication in software.
This info is found on these websites:

This is enough reason for me to stay away from Intel, not because i'm not legal, but because i don't want anyone to control my computer...
This is already used on the Pentium D chips...

Apopsis, I feel is tendentious information, and not say all the true.
Did you know about the serial number issue in the PIII processor chip?, everyone disable and that's it. NOBODY USES that information ever, like some people aware in the early days of PIII.
This is the same issue... Come on, nobody can control your computer without your permission, its illegal and it will not be permitted. It Will Never Be happent as You described.

(grrrr... already answered you at the other post):
Do you remember how users reacted with this, they forced Intel and motherboard manufacturers to update bios with a disable option for the P3 serial number...
This time it is more "quietly" Intel does not give many informations,
The comments are not mine, but quotes from the websites.
PS. ..Sorry moderators for the double post..

It's interesting, I could get some first hand info with Intel in these matter, I have a few friends in the bussiness.
