,----[ Quote ]
| He accused Intel of understating the impact of the bugs “very significantly”
| and cautioned OS developers that they will most certainly run into these
| bugs.

| “All of this is just unbelievable to many of us,” he declared.
|
| de Raadt said he cannot recommend the purchase of any machines based on the
| Intel Core 2 until these issues are dealt with.

| These vendors often want a quiet private discussion, because in a
| quiet private discussion they can continue to dismiss the requests and in
| the end do absolutely nothing. They do not want a noisy public
| discussion, because then they look bad. But they DESERVE TO LOOK BAD,
| because they are being bad to those who bought their hardware!

|
| By withholding, Intel is being an Open Source fraud.
|

|
| So let's win back the rights to run the hardware we purchased.
|
| Please feel free to let other open source communities know about this
| matter. Thank you.
