@nprofile1q... *Refuses to force loading proprietary malware on the user.
If software is released under a license that says; "3. No reverse engineering, decompilation, or disassembly of this software is permitted." IT CONTAINS MALWARE - NO EXCEPTIONS.
The user is free to load such malware if they wish to do so.
There aren't even any updates available for the Core 2 Duo CPUs regardless.
There would be no problem with free software microcode updates, but Intel refuses to provide them and has also made it cryptographically impossible to develop your own.
